Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke's campaign may be losing steam, so this is an important reminder that he truly is Kennedyesque.The former police officer who arrested Beto O’Rourke for driving drunk in 1998, along with the sergeant who signed the incident report, both say they believe now what they reported at the time: that O’Rourke tried to leave the scene of the wreck he caused.O’Rourke admits he was intoxicated and says there is no justification for his actions, but he has denied that he tried to flee.Neither the investigating officer, Richard Carrera, nor his former supervisor, Gary Hargrove, specifically recalls the events of that night more than 20 years ago. But both of the former Anthony Police Department officers told The Texas Tribune they have no doubt the report they compiled and signed is accurate.“I believe we have contradicting stories here,” said Carrera, who arrested the 26-year-old O’Rourke and took him to a police station to undergo a breath test. “I stand by my report.”Carrera, 49, said after reading the police report, in which an unnamed witness claimed O’Rourke tried to flee in his Volvo, he has “no doubt that he tried to leave the scene.”It figures that it would be a Volvo. Though that's less Kennedyesque and more Obamaesque. And it doesn't really qualify as Kennedyesque unless you kill a woman.
