AUSTIN "He is so light in the loafers he floats off the ground at times."

Those were the words Republican Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick used on Fox News on Monday night to describe Beto O'Rourke, suggesting that the Democrat running for president is gay.

Patrick made the comments while criticizing O'Rourke's immigration policy on "The Ingraham Angle." He also called O'Rourke "a moron" and "unbelievable."

---

I use to think Rick Perry was out biggest idiot but this guy is something else.

Dan Patrick is a screw ball.

I was watching when he said that and he made sure to clarify when asked that it had nothing to do w/ how this is being spun. Nice try though liberal media - as usual.

He was mocking him for his moronic statements - his words.

Biggest ****** in Austin. Not liked by his own party.

Not a fan of this guy whatsoever.

Guys a weirdo. Would never vote for him.

Beto O'Rourke is a moron and I'm glad Dan Patrick called him out on it. Meanwhile, go ahead and keep spinning MSM (and those that routinely fall for their crap).

Fascinating how so many on the Left make sure to tell us what someone meant, even if they did not, and focus on implied 'code words' even when its only in their fetid imagination.

Where was Patrick incorrect? Inquiring minds and all that.

Talk about spin. "Light in the loafers" is a well-known euphemism for being gay. There are well-known euphemisms for being dumb ("not the sharpest knife in the drawer" etc.). Patrick either meant to imply Beto was gay and is now backtracking or meant to imply Beto was dumb, yet was stupid enough to mangle his own insult.

You have 3 choices: Patrick is a homophobe. Patrick is dumb. Patrick is both.

O'Rourke is a Furry and wrote a fantasy about killing children.

Patrick is an old school GOP bible thumper out of touch with modern times.

Or, he was simply incorrect in his use of an expression.

Obama mispronounced "corpsman" by sounding out the "p" and "s". He also said "57 states". Was he either dumb or anti-American, or both?

(The argument against Obama is much stronger, though. How in the world does anyone mess up the number of states??)

LOL, that's not spin, it's a direct ****ing quote and anybody with two neurons knows what it means or can google it.

This thread was a letdown, I expected to see Patrick being reviled for his anti-democratic authoritarianism regarding the pot bill that passed the House. Wadda******.

The proposed bill, BTW, was pathetic, but it was bipartisan at least and partially reflected what the citizens of Texas want. Patrick, of course, knows better.

Is on staff at Fox now?

It is the explanation, not the mistake, that leads to the alternatives. When Obama's referenced mistakes were pointed out he did not try to justify them with some ridiculous explanation.


But Hillary's emails..,

A couple of true statements about Patrick and the usual suspects of trumptards begin circling like sharks on an imaginary feeding frenzy.

Well, Dan Patrick isn't the best speaker in the world, but Beto takes stupid to a whole new level!

This thread is super gay

I thought being gay was a resume builder for a democrat?? Why is everyone so upset with Dan Patrick, for paying a compliment to Beto? Are we now saying that being gay is bad? Make up your mind.

Did Dan Patrick stop maturing emotionally in fifth grade?

Calling a political opponent "light in the loafers" and a "moron" is, well, worthy of the political dialog on this forum. Which is why it resonated with the usual Trump-pets.

I don't think O'Rourke's candidacy will go anywhere. So Patrick has wasted a lot of perfectly good vitriol he could heap on other Democratic politicians for the benefit of the evangelical amen chorus. Although it appears he's a jerk with a bottomless supply of nastiness to screw to the likes of Laura Ingraham and her receptive audience.

Again, note that this guy you despise so much still beat the Democrat. Maybe instead of looking for reasons to insult the Republican, you should come up with better candidates on your side.

But that would require actually having sound ideas.

They have no other options than to play victim, call others racist or spew hatred.
