That indicates O'Rourke votes slightly conservative for a Democrat, but is still far more liberal than any Republican. The data cited there shows him pretty squarely in the "slightly conservative Democrat" range: https://voteview.com/person/21361/beto-o-rourke https://voteview.com/person/21361/beto-o-rourke
Is that an inaccurate assessment? I'm wondering where "Mr GOP Lovefest" comes from.
