Beta O’Rourke campaign denies sending texts encouraging illegal voting

A spokesman for Rep. Beto O’Rourke’s (D-Texas) campaign denied that text messages sent to Texan voters asking for help transporting "undocumented immigrants" to polling stations were sent on behalf of the campaign, The New York Times reported.
The denial comes after the Times reported that text messages claiming to be from an O’Rourke volunteer named Patsy were sent to voters in Texas on Wednesday night, asking for help in transporting "undocumented immigrants" to polling stations so that they could vote.
“That was not an approved message by the campaign,” Chris Evans, a spokesman for Mr. O’Rourke, told the Times.
Evans added whoever sent the text was “not a Beto volunteer,” and said the sender was an "impostor," the Times reported. Evans added that O'Rourke's campaign was looking into how the messages were sent.
The O'Rourke campaign did not immediately reply to a request for comment from The Hill.
‘We are in search of volunteers to help transport undocumented immigrants to polling booths so that they will be able to vote. Would you be able to support this grassroots effort?”
The Times reported that O’Rourke's campaign has employed text messages to reach voters through the campaign. LINK

Why do Dems always cheat and lie?

Why? There’s a video of Obama plainly saying it. Why back up now?

So someone started sending these texts impersonating a Beto volunteer to make him look bad? The Texas GOP has been running a smear campaign for the last month or so pretty hard. I actually saw a Ted Cruz sign in someone's yard for the first time last week.

Of course Boozin' Beto will deny. He's a NASTY guy.

The Times reported that O’Rourke's campaign has employed text messages to constantly spam voters through the campaign.

Yes just an off the record unofficial campaign approval.

Admit it. You guys are fricking scared of Beto.

We didn’t do it but we aren’t opposed to it.

Typical right wing propaganda.
Reminds me of trump saying Obama was maybe not a citizen.

If it is intended to inflame right wing racists, you can bet the store that it is typical right wing dirty tricks.

His name is Robert Francis O’Rourke.

So why are they transporting illegal immigrants to polling stations?
