Beto O’Rourke used a common vulgarity in acknowledging to his senate campaign staff that he could be difficult.
His comments are heard on the documentary, “Running With Beto” The documentary will air Tuesday on HBO. A video clip of the film was posted by The Daily Beast.
The documentary takes a look at O’Rourke’s close, but unsuccessful bid to unseat Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas. O’Rourke, a Democrat, is now running for the White House.
“I just feel very, very lucky, and I love you guys more than you’ll ever know,” he is seen telling his top campaign staff as he labeled himself with a vulgarity in conceding he was difficult to work with.
But he said they “never allowed my shortcomings to get in the way of running the best campaign this state has ever seen.”
The documentary was first shown at the South By Southwest Film Festival in Austin, Texas in early March. The Daily Beast is reporting the O’Rourke campaign is hoping the HBO airing will inject some energy into his presidential campaign.
