BREAKING: Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate Beto O'Rourke interrupted Texas Gov. Greg Abbott during a press conference in Uvalde. 'You are doing nothing,' O'Rourke said.
One of the officials on stage told O'Rourke,"You are out of line" and said,"I can't believe you are a sick son of a b**** and would come here to make a political issue."
After O'Rourke was escorted out, Abbott did not address the incident directly but called for unity, saying that"every Texan, every American has a responsibility where we need to focus not on ourselves and our agendas, but we need to focus on the healing and hope that we can provide those who have suffered unconscionable damage to their lives and loss of life."
During his failed presidential run in 2019, O'Rourke was an outspoken advocate for gun control measures. A former congressman, O'Rourke represented El Paso, where a gunman shot and killed 23 people.
