Donald Trump Jr. Just Went After Beto O'Rourke for His Ethnicity, and People Are Calling Out His Hypocrisy

Awkward.

Donald Trump Jr. came under fire Monday morning for attacking Beto O'Rourke, the Texas Democrat looking to unseat Senator Ted Cruz (R) in November, over his name.

"What’s authentic about an Irish guy pretending to be Hispanic?" Trump Jr. said in a tweet. "Asking for some friend [sic] Texas." Junior doesn't have time for prepositions.


The missing 'no' got a nod.

O'Rourke's full legal name is Robert Francis O'Rourke. Going by Beto is not a ploy to sound Spanish. A fourth-generation Irish-American, "Beto" is the nickname his family gave him as a child to distinguish him from his grandfather, after whom he was named.

Meanwhile, Trump Jr. is getting pummelled on Twitter for his endorsement of Canadian-born Cruz, whose first name isn't Ted - it's Rafael. And he calls himself Ted for almost the exact same reason O'Rourke goes by Beto: to distinguish himself from his father, Rafael Sr.

"Aren’t you supporting a Canadian guy named Rafael that goes by Ted?" one user wrote. "Idiot."

Before he was president, Donald Trump himself thought Cruz was inauthentic.

Beto is a common nickname in Texas; is this the best Junior can do?

Junior got nailed for his own authenticity problems too.

Trump isn't the presidential family's original name. It was Drumpf (yes really).

"You don't have any friends" became a recurring theme.

Michael Avenatti wasn't going to miss this chance to dig into Trump Jr. either.

"Can you confirm that you have no reason to believe that you are about to be indicted for making false stmts to federal agents?" the attorney asked. "Asking for some friends."

He added: "Btw, this could not happen to a nicer guy. Will your father continue his corruption pattern and pardon you?"

Come on, Junior. Be best.

Kim Kardashian Slammed After Participating In Tone-Deaf Tesla Photoshoot For Magazine

Kim Kardashian is in hot water online after appearing in a controversial photo shoot for the Tesla Cybertruck amid Elon Musk's unconstitutional takeover of key functions of the U.S. government.

There has perhaps never been a poorer reading of the room. Despite what most Republicans appear to think (Kardashian included it would seem), the Tesla CEO is broadly disliked by the majority of Americans according to recent polling.

Trump Blasted After Military Scrubs WWII Navajo Code Talkers From Websites Due To 'DEI'

The Department of Defense and the U.S. Army have been widely criticized after they removed materials from their websites about the World War II Navajo Code Talkers, who from 1942 to 1945 played a crucial role in every major Marine Corps operation in the Pacific, using their unbreakable code to secure communications.

News outlets found that at least 10 articles about the Code Talkers had vanished from the U.S. Army and Department of Defense websites as of Monday. The Defense Department’s URLs had been modified to include the letters "DEI," indicating they may have been removed following President Trump’s executive order dismantling federal diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.

MTG Gets Schooled By Holocaust Historian After Unfounded Claim About 'Nazis In Ukraine' In Resurfaced Clip

A resurfaced video from 2024 reminded social media users of the time Yale historian and best-selling author Dr. Timothy Snyder gave Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene a blunt fact-check after she touted the rise of "Nazis in Ukraine" during a recent congressional hearing.

The video is more relevant than ever following a contentious White House meeting last month between President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and Vice President J.D. Vance. The meeting turned heated when Vance berated Zelenskyy, leading the Ukrainian president to leave without signing an agreement for U.S. security guarantees in exchange for access to Ukrainian rare earth minerals.
