Feisty Katrina Pierson Is Back & Using Beto's Poetry To Smack Down Pelosi
There has recently been a concerted effort among Democrats to fundamentally change the manner in which this nation conducts elections, from abolishing the Electoral College in favor of a national popular vote, automatically registering everyone to vote, allowing illegal immigrants to vote in local elections and extending the right to vote in national elections to 16-year-old children.
Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi recently signaled her support for lowering the voting age to 16 in her weekly news conference and said, “I think it’s really important to capture kids when they’re in high school, when they’re interested in all of this, when they’re learning about the government, to be able to vote.”
At the same time, old writings from 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Robert “Beto” O’Rourke when he was just 16-years-old have recently resurfaced, including a rather disturbing short story about running over children with a car, as well as a bizarre poem titled “The Song of the Cow,” which is something of a nonsensical and sexualized ode to cows and milk.
Enter outspoken Trump supporter Katrina Pierson, who was then-candidate Donald Trump’s campaign spokeswoman in 2016 and has now emerged as a senior adviser to the president’s 2020 re-election campaign. She took on Pelosi’s support for allowing 16-year-olds to vote by sharing a snippet of O’Rourke’s absurd cow-loving poem to show just how ridiculous the whole thing is.
Warning: The following tweet contains vulgar language that some readers may find offensive.
Nancy Pelosi – “I myself have always been for lowering the voting age to 16.”
Beto O’Rourke at 16:
“Wax my ass,
Scrub my balls.
The Cow has risen,
Provide Milk.”*Apologizes for immature state of mind*#ThinkAboutThat

Pierson tweeted, “Nancy Pelosi – ‘I myself have always been for lowering the voting age to 16.'”
She added, “Beto O’Rourke at 16: ‘Wax my ass, Scrub my balls. The Cow has risen, Provide Milk.’ *Apologizes for immature state of mind* #ThinkAboutThat”
To be sure, O’Rourke shouldn’t get too much grief over his ridiculous writings from when he was 16. In principle, it isn’t cool to dig up and weaponize inane old stuff from the past against current political opponents, as people grow and mature to a great extent from adolescence to adulthood.
But that fact is precisely why it is a bad idea to extend the important civic duty of voting for our nation’s leaders to immature and inexperienced teenagers who are driven by emotion and peer pressure more than actual knowledge and understanding of vast implications of which political leaders set policy and hold power.
Some might cynically say that is the exact reason why Democrats are now so adamantly pushing for 16-year-olds to be allowed to vote, as kids that age are more easily manipulated into supporting policies that those of us with worldly knowledge and real-life experience can see right through as utopian dreams that are doomed to costly failure.
It must be noted that O’Rourke has issued an apology for recent comments and writings attributed to him in his teenage years, written under the pseudonym “Psychedelic Warlord” for an alleged computer hacking group known as the “Cult of the Dead Cow,” according to the Chicago Tribune.
“I’m mortified to read it now, incredibly embarrassed, but I have to take ownership of my words,” O’Rourke said at an event in Iowa about his resurfaced old writings.
“Whatever my intention was as a teenager doesn’t matter, I have to look long and hard at my actions, at the language I have used, and I have to constantly try to do better,” he continued.
“It’s not anything I’m proud of today, and I mean, that’s — that’s the long and short of it,” he added. “All I can do is my best, which is what I’m trying to do. I can’t control anything I’ve done in the past. I can only control what I do going forward and what I plan to do is give this my best.”
In other words, he is sorry for his idiotic indiscretions as an immature youth, but is now older, wiser and much more mature — which again only serves to bolster the point that moronic and indiscreet teenagers have no business officially weighing in on the monumental decision of voting for political leaders who can and do make enormous impacts on the nation and society.
Here’s hoping this push by the left to allow 16-year-olds the right to vote goes nowhere, lest we want immature and socially inept children with short attention spans and easily swayed viewpoints dictating our nation’s domestic and foreign policies.
