It wasn't Beto O'Rourke's night.
But despite the defeat to Ted Cruz in the Senate race at the midterm elections, Beto was in a rallying mood during his emotional concession speech.
He also dropped the f-word -- uncensored -- on live TV, telling the crowd to a huge cheer, "I'm so fucking proud of you guys!"

But it's not like the internet cared, with big fans of the f-bomb lining up to declare their loyalty to O'Rourke.
