For more than two years, the liberal media and Democrats have been salivating at the mouth to connect President Donald Trump to the Russians meddling in the 2016 election.
Now, it seems that the one and only true hacker is being celebrated by the Democratic party.
Robert Francis O’Rourke — better known as Beto.
The recently-announced 2020 hopeful was a member of one of the most infamous and influential hacking groups of all time, the Cult of the Dead Cow—criminals.
O’ Rourke will likely have to address the story.
These new developments came as a bombshell.
Only…the journalist who broke it knew about Beto’s involvement in the group for more than a year. But the mainstream media kept it hidden until after Betos showdown with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.
Joseph Menn, Reuters journalist author of “Cult of the Dead Cow: How the Original Hacking Supergroup Might Just Save the World,” was doing research on the so-called “hacktivists” where he came across an obscure congressman’s membership in the past, according to the Washington Examiner.
“While I was looking into the Cult of the Dead Cow, I found that they had a member who was sitting in Congress. I didn’t know which one. But I knew that they had a member of Congress.”
“And then I figured out which one it was. And the members of the group wouldn’t talk to me about who it was. They wouldn’t confirm that it was this person unless I promised that I wouldn’t write about it until after the November election.”
“That’s because the member of Congress had decided to run for Senate. Beto O’ Rourke is who it was.”
Menn went on to find out that O’ Rourke was largely a member during his teenage years, and wrote crass material in underground forums by the name of “Psychedelic Warlord.” Beto’s writings consisted of some fairly vulgar material, including one piece of fiction which involved him running over kids with a car. My oh my.
When Menn met O’ Rourke for an interview, he told the celebrity Democrat that he’d wait to publish the story. That was in 2017.
So for two years Menn held onto the information, letting the Senate race between Beto and Cruz, R-T.X., go down, which ended in Beto’s narrow defeat.
Menn pulled a “catch and kill,” a journalistic method where one withholds a story from the public and buries it. But what’s worse is that Menn wasn’t trying to protect anyone. He just wanted more profits from his book. His credibility should forever be questioned because of it.
As for Beto, the further he strays away to the left the more trouble he’s going to have garnering support. Popular as he may be, the people who matter are already highlighting his flaws, the fact that he’s grossly stumbled over policy ever since throwing his hat into the 2020 election.
But hey, he’s cool right?
