Beto Is Going To The Border To Oppose Trump

President Trump is expected to travel to the border Monday. He’s going to hold a rally at the El Paso County Coliseum that night. It’ll be his first official rally-style event of the year.

However, one potential 2020 candidate wants to sour the night. Beto O’Rourke has agreed to headline a counter-rally in the same city to “show the country the reality of the border.”

“Beto O’Rourke will join with his city on Monday evening to show the country the reality of the border — a vibrant, safe, binational community that proudly celebrates its culture, history, diversity and status as a city of immigrants,” O’Rourke’s office said in a statement.

“While some try to stoke fear and paranoia, to spread lies and a false narrative about the U.S.-Mexico border and to demand a 2,000 mile wall along it at a time of record safety and security, El Paso will come together for a march and celebration that highlights the truth,” the statement continued.

For the millionth time, IT IS NOT ABNORMAL TO SECURE THE BORDERS OF YOUR COUNTRY.

Anyway, Beto will appear at the Chalio Acosta Sports Center, which– as ABC 13 notes– is a “literal stone’s throw” from the El Paso County Coliseum.

Beto’s totally gonna run.
