[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Beto O’Rourke’s nickname is Spanish, but his last name is Irish. What gives? How did Beto O’Rourke get his nickname?

Some people have criticized O’Rourke for supposedly using the Spanish-sounding nickname to curry favor with Latino voters (no, he’s not Latino). However, Beto has used the nickname since childhood. His father gave it to him. There is a political dimension to the name, though, because his dad was a political figure in El Paso, Texas who thought the Spanish-sounding name would help his son in that community if he ever ran for office.

That’s not true, I’m from El Paso. We gave him his nickname. If you have an issue with it go talk to people who know Beto since childhood. We gave him his nickname. Beto, knows he’s not Hispanic. Like I said his Mexican American teachers, etc, gave him his nickname.

In his infancy, his family gave him the nickname "Beto", a common Spanish-Portuguese nickname for first names ending in "-berto", initially to distinguish him from his namesake grandfather.[20][21][22]

Unless you are his family, you are oddly lying. Why?
