Rep. Beto O’Rourke responded to allegations by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) that O’Rourke staffers have been illegally funneling campaign funds to help transport Honduran nationals traveling in the Central American caravan headed towards the southern US border.
In Friday comments, Cruz cited an undercover sting by Project Veritas in which O’Rourke campaign staffers Dominic Chacon and AnaPaula Themann appear to admit to facilitating helping transport migrants to airports and bus stations.
Cruz referred to the video while campaigning in Fort Worth, telling a crowd of about 300 that “a video broke this morning of his campaign staffers taking campaign money and apparently using it to give it to people coming here illegally.” -Dallas Morning News
O’Rourke responded, telling the Dallas Morning News “We’re looking at this, but anyone who is trying to politicize this is trying to win an election base on fear. I want to make sure that we’re focused on the issues that matters most to Texas.”
“I am comfortable that the campaign is above board, that everything is being reported to the FEC and I’m going to also make sure that I understand that’s going on, but from everything I’ve heard, that’s the sum of it,” added O’Rourke.
James O’Keefe of Project Veritas challenged O’Rourke on Friday to “make the records public.”
