Former congressman and 2020 presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke expressed regret for recently joking that his wife, Amy, raises their children “sometimes with my help.”“Not only will I not say that again, but I’ll be more thoughtful going forward in the way that I talk about our marriage, and also the way in which I acknowledge the truth of the criticism that I have enjoyed white privilege,” the Texas Democrat said during a “Political Party LIVE!” podcast taping on Friday in Iowa, CNN reported. O’Rouke made the remark about his family while speaking to a crowd at a coffee shop on Thursday, sparking a mix of laughter and criticism on the same day he announced his run.
