Remember Robert \u2018Beto\u2019 O\u2019Rourke, the failed candidate for pretty much everything?<\/p>\n

Last year when the Sam Bankman-Fried crypto scandal broke, Beto pledged to return all the cash donated by the alleged criminal. Yet according to records, Beto is still holding $100,000 donated to him by Bankman-Fried.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t really make sense. Beto married into a very wealthy family, so it\u2019s not like he needs the money.<\/p>\n

The Washington Free Beacon<\/a> reports:<\/p>\n

Dirty Money: Beto Clings to $100K from Sam Bankman-Fried After Pledge To Return Tainted Crypto Cash<\/strong><\/p>\n

Robert Francis \u201cBeto\u201d O\u2019Rourke won praise last year after he pledged to return a massive campaign contribution from Sam Bankman-Fried, the disgraced cryptocurrency kingpin charged with defrauding customers out of billions of dollars. But campaign finance records show the failed political candidate has not lived up to that promise nearly eight months later.<\/p>\n

O\u2019Rourke has kept $100,000 that Bankman-Fried donated to O\u2019Rourke\u2019s failed gubernatorial campaign, according to campaign finance disclosures released this week. A spokesman for O\u2019Rourke said in November that the campaign had returned an \u201cunsolicited\u201d $1 million donation from Bankman-Fried just before the Nov. 8 election. O\u2019Rourke received positive media attention for announcing the refund, with one political scientist saying it \u201clooks good\u201d for O\u2019Rourke to return Bankman-Fried\u2019s donation.<\/p>\n

The Washington Free Beacon reported in January that O\u2019Rourke\u2019s campaign refunded just $900,000 to Bankman-Fried and that it was placing the additional $100,000 into a fund for \u201cvictims of FTX\u2019s collapse.\u201d Campaign filings released this week do not show any refunds or payments related to the remaining $100,000.<\/p>\n

Perhaps Beto is just too busy urging Biden to prevent Texas Governor Greg Abbott from securing the southern border.<\/p>\n

There is one person who has the power to stop Abbott.\u2070\u2070Stop him from deploying razor wire & medieval drowning devices designed to ensnare & mutilate. Stop every illegal thing he\u2019s doing on the border that ends up killing human beings.
\u2070Mr. President, we need you to act.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a really good thing this man has never been elected.<\/p>\n
