Rep. Beth Van Duyne, R-Texas, rejected former Texas congressman Beto O’Rourke’s suggestion that the Lone Star State is in play for Vice President Kamala Harris as she runs for the presidency at the top of the Democrat ticket.
O’Rourke, a Democrat, made his comments on MSNBC’s “The Inside Interview” on Monday.
“Look, I don’t know what he’s been smoking, but I also know that that man has lost three statewide elections, so he really is not familiar — if he thought he could win — he’s not familiar with the voters in Texas,” Van Duyne said during an appearance on Newsmax’s “Wake Up America.” “Look at what Harris says. She wants to get rid of the oil and gas industry.

I don’t think that’s going to fly.”
