1/ THREAD: I know I’m a little late on this one, but I was busy earlier & have some things to say about the thread @germanrlopez, a @voxdotcom senior correspondent, wrote about @BetoORourke today.
Let me help clear things up with some FACTS & RECEIPTS.
2/ First of all, Beto didn’t just suddenly start caring about gun violence after the shooting in El Paso on August 3rd.
One of many examples: @BetoORourke in 2016, on the House floor, during the sit-in, speaking truth.

🚨HEY TEXAS!🚨
The debate is on 9/12 & it’s your chance to show everyone that TX is ALL IN for BETO!
🎉YOU’RE INVITED: @TeamBeto is hosting an official watch party in HOUSTON & #BetoNation will be making our grassroots energy known @ the debate too!
LISTEN UP: @BetoORourke has clearly stated he's not going to run for Senate instead of POTUS, so if you’re STILL bringing it up I’m left to assume you:
1/ Have delusions of grandeur & have convinced yourself that he'll change his mind based on one more hot take/comment from YOU.
2/ Mean well and are genuinely worried about Dems winning back the senate, but are unaware that countless bots and trolls are swarming his and #Beto2020 supporters mentions ALL DAY EVERY DAY pushing this messaging like it's their job, b/c it is. Fake accounts are all over this.

THREAD: I’ve seen Julián Castro on TV since the debate saying what happened on stage w/ Beto wasn’t personal & was just a policy disagreement. Here’s the problem with that—he’s misrepresenting Beto’s position & is well aware @BetoORourke has done his homework. Let me explain...
On @Morning_Joe the next day Castro talked about @BetoORourke & said, "If you're not calling for the repeal of that section [1352] that means that basically you're gonna keep the status quo & you're gonna allow family separation."
