Isn’t it absolutely adorable when a Democrat knowingly appropriates a culture so he or she can pander for votes? And by adorable we mean predictable, typical, and totally shameless.
Robert Francis O’Rourke goes by Beto and his reasoning is so obvious it’s painful.
Tim Young shared the ‘history’ behind the nickname perfectly.
I grew up in Baltimore.
If I ran for office there and nicknamed myself "Jamal" to try to appeal to non-white people, I'd be rightfully called out for cultural appropriation/racism.It sounds ridiculous, but it's NO DIFFERENT than what Robert Francis O'Rourke is doing with "Beto"

Tim could pass for a Jamal, right?
No?
Huh.
Some people didn’t believe Tim.
Except that Beto is a name his friends bestowed on him in his childhood, and is the name he has been known by since. So more like Ted (Cruz). Like Ted, Beto's name reflects the name he chose to go by in the life he has chosen to lead.

Except this story about his childhood friends is about as phony as Robert is.
Tim followed up.
If you think the name Beto came from a place other than cultural appropriation for votes… you might want to take up your complaints with NBC and the Dallas Morning News

His dad, Pat, called him Beto because he thought it would help his son politically in El Paso.
Huh, again.
Why on Earth would he think that?
*smh*
Lighten up Francis….

We see what they did here.
Jamal Young is catchy have you checked to see if its taken on twitter? ?

See? It could totally work.
Just like Beto.
We’re going to start calling Tim, ‘Jamal’. Done deal.
