Breitbart-
Robert Francis O’Rourke’s nickname “Beto” is a “political gimmick” amounting to “appropriation” of Latin American culture in an attempt to appeal to Hispanic voters, determined Mario Duarte, Guatemala’s secretary of strategic intelligence, offering his remarks in a Tuesday interview on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Tonight with hosts Rebecca Mansour and Joel Pollak.
Pollak asked, “Is the use of the nickname ‘Beto’ in a political sense, do you find that to be offensive? I mean, his roots are really Irish. Do you think that he’s falsely passing himself as Hispanic in the way that Elizabeth Warren once pretended to be Native American, or is it just a lighthearted nickname? How should we regard it?”
“It’s a political gimmick,” replied Duarte, who is also a U.S. citizen. “As an immigrant [to the U.S.] myself … I think it’s a political gimmick to try to endear himself with the Latin population.”
Duarte added, “He’s trying to play a political part. Some people find it cheap. [It is] appropriation.” more here

We need to start calling him by his real name – which is Bob.
We could call him Pedo instead. Not in the sense of pedophile, but in Spanish Pedo means Fart.
Let the middle school jokes begin!
Does “Beto” translate to English?
Beatoff O’Dork would create a lot of attention
Milk-toast Bobby cuz his numbers are so low he’s actually getting beaten by 2% milk!
Burrito O’Rourke has a ring to it…However I strongly suggest Guatemala’s secretary of strategic intelligence I LOL’d at that one) pay a little more attention to what is happening in his own shithole country, like all the families that are GTFO.
@Tony R:
Yes, but it’s no fun. It’s the same as “Bob”.
I love that the guy spoke so bluntly. He’s a little late to the party, anyone with half a brain figured this out long ago.
Someone wittier than me dubbed him “Irish Bob”. I’m gonna go with that.
Asshole from El Paso works for me.
^^^ Kinky like!
Keep exposing the fraud. The more people say it on tv the better. By the way If he got elected what name would he sign EO’s with???
Not Beto, but Burro.
