Senator Ted Cruz poked fun at Beto O’Rourke late Tuesday night, sharing a meme suggesting the Texas Democrat might alter his name and try running for Senate in Louisiana.
O’Rourke became a rare Triple Crown winner on Election Day, falling to Texas Governor Greg Abbott by double digits.
The awkward, gangly Democrat who talks with his hands has now lost races for the Senate, presidency, and governorship all within the past four years.
Consider it the Tiger Slam for losers.

Ted Cruz Mocks ‘Beteaux’
During his concession speech, O’Rourke indicated he wasn’t sure what his next move would be, though he vowed to “continue fighting” in some manner.
“I don’t know what my role or yours will be going forward, but I’m in this fight for life,” O’Rourke said. “Who knows what’s next for any of us, right? But I just cannot thank you enough.”
Ted Cruz has an idea of what Beto’s future might hold.

Beteaux would fit right in in the French Quarter. He’s just missing a fake mustache, Inspector Clouseau hat, and a Vespa scooter with the license plate ‘BeteauxMax’.
Like his campaigns, this Cruz idea would be the third time O’Rourke would have to evolve, having gone from Robert Francis to Beto O’Rourke and now potentially to Beteaux Perdante.

Democrats Keep Wasting Money on Him
Democrat donors keep spending money on Beto’s campaigns despite the fact that he’s a clearly unlikeable candidate.
This is a guy who continues to disgrace himself, live-streaming his dental appointment, dressing up in a sheep mask and onesie for a punk band performance, or crashing a press conference updating the public on an elementary school shooting.
Leading up to the election he produced this utterly cringeworthy Tik Tok apparently trying to appeal to the very narrow demographic of creepy stalker mimes who ride bicycles.

O’Rourke was mocked on social media for not only his loss but the fact that he’s burned through so many Democrat donations with nothing to show for it.
“Between his Senate and Governor’s races, Beto has wasted roughly $140 million in Democrat fundraising… Congrats!” comedian Tim Young wrote.

Journalist Glenn Greenwald wondered how Democrat voters continue to waste their money “on social media stars in clearly unwinnable races” and suggested the money was only enriching consultants.
It’s amazing how much money Democratic voters waste on social media stars in clearly unwinnable races, doing nothing but enriching Dem consultants.
$75m on Beto. $70m on Demings. $11m on MTG’s opponent (someone named Marcus Flowers).
At least Dem consultants got new boats.⛵️ https://t.co/xdidOkBUBs

Ted Cruz last week predicted Beto was “going to lose badly” on Election Day. And Cruzstradamus nailed it.
“When he launched his campaign for governor, reporters in the Capitol asked me what I thought about it,” Cruz explained. “I said, ‘Well, I guess Beto wants to get his ass kicked a third time.'”
Lo and behold, Beto did, in fact, get his ass kicked a third time.
Personally, we hope he runs again, flailing arms and crazed eyes and all. Beto is an endless source of comedic material.
Now is the time to support and share the sources you trust.
