The Texas battle between O'Rourke and Cruz heated up on Thursday over an intercepted text message asking its recipient to help “transport undocumented immigrants to the polls.” The message appeared to be from someone in the Beto O’Rourke campaign.
A spokesman from the O’Rourke campaign says the sender was an imposter.
“That was not an approved message by the campaign,” spokesman Chris Evans said. “It was sent by an imposter. But we’re continuing to look into what happened.”
The screenshot of the text message was posted on Twitter by @JerryOchoa.

Emily Miller, a spokeswoman for Sen. Ted Cruz’s campaign, said: “Our campaign had no involvement in the alleged abuse of the O’Rourke campaign’s texting platform. We don’t condone anyone who would engage in such action.”
We do know that O’Rourke is ok with Flag Burning.
