Beto O'Rourke calls Trump the 'arsonist' in migrant influx at US southern border(CNN) Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke likened President Donald Trump to an "arsonist" on immigration, suggesting the President's policies are worsening the migrant situation on the US southern border.
"Donald Trump is the arsonist who (wants to get) the credit for putting out the fire," the Texas Democrat said in an interview on David Axelrod's show "The Axe Files" that will air Saturday.
O'Rourke argued that Trump's decision to cut off all US aid to El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras will compound the migration crisis and asylum-seekers from Central America.
"What we need is someone who will not play games or politics with people's lives or the security of this country but will invest in the smart decisions and policies like investing in Central America to stop the outflow before it even begins," O'Rourke told Axelrod.

(2,113 posts)The border and immigration is what Trump will be campaigning on and there isn't anyone better than Beto to counter all the lies Trump will be telling. That in combination with his incredible charisma and ability to connect with people, unifying and positive message of hope and how genuine and good he is speaking unscripted is why I really think he is the best candidate Democrats have as a whole.

Joe Biden and Bill Clinton also have the same gift.
Beto is going to be a serious contender.

Most are too dumb to know what 'arsonist' means. Either that or they'll think that yeah, maybe those fires did need to be started.
