===Islamic State in Juarez===
PolitiFact rated Beto's claim that the [[Islamic State]] terrorist group was not operating in Juarez, Mexico as [[false]].<ref>https://www.politifact.com/texas/statements/2018/may/03/beto-orourke/beto-orourke-zero-terrorists-harm-Americans-Mexico/</ref> Juarez, which is adjacent to El Paso, is among the world’s most dangerous cities<ref>https://www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/world/2018/07/17/juarez-50-most-dangerous-cities-world/791543002/</ref> and the most dangerous place in the [[Western Hemisphere]].<ref>https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/the-most-dangerous-place-in-the-western-hemisphere/#!</ref> In 2014 Beto O’Rourke contacted the El Paso area offices of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) in an effort to identify—and evidently intimidate—sources that may have been used by [[Judicial Watch]]. Judicial Watch reported that the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) is operating a camp just a few miles from El Paso, according to sources that include a Mexican Army field grade officer and a Mexican Federal Police Inspector.<ref>https://www.judicialwatch.org/corruption-chronicles/feds-el-paso-rep-orourke-called-ban-contact-jw/</ref>

===Women don’t jump on furniture===
''[[Vox]]'' commented on Beto's talking down to voters:
Another related question is how countertop shenanigans intersect with the gender dynamics ''vis-à-vis'' the women in the field....the obvious question here is whether a woman could really scramble around on furniture and still be taken seriously as a potential leader....It’s not his fault that he can get away with certain things that some of his rivals probably couldn’t. His strengths are in contrast. With [[Biden]], he presents a pretty clean case of young versus old; compared with Harris, Warren, [[Amy Klobuchar]], and [[Kirsten Gillibrand]], it looks to a lot of people like a very literal case of a brash young man asking to be promoted ahead of a bunch of better-qualified women.... the whole idea of his candidacy strikes other observers as a somewhat enraging display of privilege.
