UVALDE, Texas (AP) — Beto O’Rourke interrupted a press conference Wednesday about the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, calling the tragedy “totally predictable when you choose not to do anything.”

O’Rourke was escorted out while members of the crowd yelled at him, with one man shouting profanities at O’Rourke. The Democrat is challenging Gov. Greg Abbott in this year’s election.
Republican Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said to O’Rourke: “You’re out of line and an embarrassment.”
O’Rourke, as he was being escorted out, turned around, faced the stage, pointed his finger and said: “This is on you until you choose to do something different. This will continue to happen. Somebody needs to stand up for the children of this state or they will continue to be killed just like they were killed in Uvalde yesterday.”
Abbott says the gunman who killed 19 children and two teachers at an elementary school warned on social media minutes before the attack that he was going to shoot up a school. He says the shooter, 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, used an AR-15 in the attack Tuesday at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde.
The news conference was attended by several elected Republican officials.
Texas has a DeBlasio and his name is Beto
Disgusting sad excuse for a human being. 2 time loser working to make it 3.
Quotable quote (Uvalde Mayor Dan McLaughlin to O’Rourke): “I can’t believe you’re a sick son of a b—- that would come to a deal like this to make a political issue.”
Get lost Beto z!!
Grandstanding nonsense
The only people who chose not to do anything were the members of that local school board….who chose not to have armed security at that school. Many school districts in TX have security, they did not.
Trying to make a name for himself.
Its an attention tactic
These democRat losers never go away.
Leftists are probably very happy with his childish behavior. These would be the same leftists who couldn’t handle when Hillary was running for Senator, and the Republican candidate moved in her direction during a debate. It was as if the world was going to fall apart that this person actually came next to her mighty queen Hillary YMSH
Have to give credit to the loony lefty , he at least showed his true colors
He (Beto) is a self serving idiot!
the ones who did nothing are the DemocRATS from the President down to the CIA, FBI and homeland security by not following yhru on any threats they find online or offline.
