What About Redistribution of Wealth?: O'Rourke Knocked for Not - Sharing Record $38M Haul With Dems Posted: Oct 16th, 2018 - 11:34 am
As seen on America's Newsroom
Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas) said Monday that he will not share any of the record $38 million his campaign raised in the third quarter of the year with other Democratic candidates.
"No, we're going to spare no expense," he said.
"Folks contributed to this race because they want us to win this race. If they want to contribute to another campaign, of course they're welcome to do that."
Recent polling has shown O'Rourke trailing Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) by as many as nine percentage points ahead of next month's election, while Democrats in states like Missouri, Florida, and Indiana are in tighter races.
On "America's Newsroom" Tuesday, economics professor Brian Brenberg wondered what happened to the Democratic principle of redistribution of wealth championed by O'Rourke and so many other progressives.
