Beto O’Rourke removed from press conference
After O’Rourke’s initial heckling at the governor, someone was heard shouting, “I can’t believe you, you sick son of a b***h, you would come to an event like this to make it a political issue. A**holes like you, get out of here.”
Shortly after, O’Rourke was escorted out of the press conference.
He then went outside of the auditorium to speak to the media, where he criticized Abbott for not supporting red flag laws, gun storage laws, and an outright ban on AR-15s and AK-47s.
“This 18-year-old, who just turned 18, bought an AR-15 and took it into an elementary school and shot kids in the face and killed them,” O’Rourke told reporters.
