Did Beta mention anything about his lies about not using campaign consultants or accepting money from PACs during that interview?

https://dailycaller.com/2018/10/31/b...ants-campaign/

Quote:
O’Rourke, who is running for Senate in Texas against incumbent Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, has been promoting his campaign as PAC-free, special interest-free and consultant-free since it first kicked off. O’Rourke told The Dallas Morning News in March 2017 he would not utilize poll-testing or be “consulting with consultants” and has repeated that claim at countless rallies and media events.

However, filings from the Federal Election Commission, first reported by Fox News Wednesday, show that O’Rourke’s campaign has been paying a consulting firm, Screen Strategies Media, almost $18 million during the last quarter.

O’Rourke also seemingly walked back his pledge not to accept any money from political action committees (PACs). Since being in Congress, the anti-Zionist J Street PAC has raised over $170,000 on behalf of O’Rourke, The Daily Caller News Foundation reported in July. Emily Miller, a spokeswoman for Cruz, called on O’Rourke at the time to return the money to J Street. He did not.

“Rep. Robert ‘Beto’ O’Rourke travels all over Texas claiming that PACs are corrupt, and he’s made his alleged rejection of PAC influence a cornerstone of his campaign,” said Miller. “But now we know that O’Rourke’s actions have not matched his words, and he has accepted significant fundraising support from the extremist, yet influential, anti-Israel J Street PAC to aid his candidacy.”

O’Rourke’s campaign did not respond to TheDCNF’s request for comment.
I know his low IQ supporters won't care but does this guy ever tell the truth?

Simple Google search will tell you that you're wrong:

I understand you need to muddy the water because you're probably getting nervous.

Your links are both horribly outdated, please do some reading. These financial filings were only released yesterday. I knew his low IQ supporters wouldn't care.

Beto is a consultant hiring, PAC money accepting LIAR and his low IQ supporters won't care one bit even though he's used those talking points for the last year or more at every campaign stop.

Here are the FEC records that prove Beto is a liar.

https://www.fec.gov/data/disbursemen...e%2C+and+Radio

It shows millions and millions of consultant dollars being spent in the last quarter of his campaign.

Here's a link to Beto's consultants Screen Strategies Media who also love to point out that one of their biggest clients is Planned Parenthood and other left wing candidates all over the nation.

Wrong again:

From your own post above: "Since being in Congress, the anti-Zionist J Street PAC has raised over $170,000 on behalf of O’Rourke, The Daily Caller News Foundation reported in July." Hint: August comes after July.

You keep calling them consultants when he's already said: "When asked about how those expenses square with his aversion to consultants, O'Rourke clarified his earlier statements, explaining he would use vendors who can help with the "technical" aspects of a campaign, such as developing an email platform. But he will not hire consultants — like pollsters — who will test or dictate his messaging in any capacity, he said."

So he lied and you believe his spin, thanks. I was right the whole time about his low IQ supporters, in their eyes Beta can do no wrong.
