He fucking OWNS it and points out, the outcome would have been different if he was black and caught with marijuana.

OP
I heard him deny this. I just wish Ellen has asked him about it so he could take more time.

who takes responsibility for none of his mistakes, and there are MANY!

It's my understanding that he's been accused of this and I want to hear him answer.

"Records indicate ORourke was arrested at the scene and wasnt charged with trying to flee. But the September 1998 Anthony Police Department report on the incident says a witness said ORourke tried to leave the scene before police arrived and the witness kept him from doing so."

I don't know if it is true but that is O'Rourke's take on it in the debate

I'd like to hear his response to the idea that he had to be prevented from leaving.
We know this is going to come up again and again. I hope he can handle it well. I'm all in for Beto!
