| Beto O'Rourke calls out Texas governor and Republicans for failing to curb gun violence. |
A bunch of Republicans did a presser in Uvalde, Texas, day after the latest mass shooting in the country.
The Democratic gubernatorial nominee had to stop the prescripted nonsense of Gov. Karen Abbott and his posse of Republican allies.
He was called a "stupid son of a bitch" by the mayor of Uvalde. The mayor was the old white guy with a walker. The Lt. Gov. Karen Patrick said the Democrat is out of line.
It was an interesting Wednesday afternoon in Texas.
You are my hero @BetoORourke. From the bottom of my heart, for my daughter Jaime and all victims of gun violence, thank you. pic.twitter.com/zW3msBSmo3

Beto gets TORCHED for trying to crash Governor Greg Abbott's press conference. "I can't believe you're a sick son of a b**ch that would come to a deal like this to make a political issue," someone yells at Beto before throwing him out. https://t.co/NQ9ybV7Bax

SELECTIVE OUTRAGE: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott slammed Democrats for ignoring violence in liberal cities, while politicizing the tragic shooting in Uvalde. TONIGHT on "Hannity," @LaraLeaTrump and @LawrenceBJones3 will weigh in.

This "why don't they care about gun violence in Chicago" talking point is so played out. Pritzker banned "ghost guns" like ten minutes ago. Argue that it's ineffective, sure, but take 10 seconds to see what the state/city actually does. https://t.co/o6sD8o56Ma

Remember when Rafael ‘Ted’ Cruz @tedcruz thought it was funny to cook bacon with his assault rifle?

Remember Rafael takes more money from the NRA than any other politician?
Remember a time that Rafael agreed with any legislation to curtail gun violence?pic.twitter.com/ZhdPbrepm4
Cruz: Have one door… and have that one door, armed police officers at that door. If that had happened.. when that psychopath had arrived, the armed police officers could’ve taken him out… pic.twitter.com/YnOCDs9GAZ

Cruz: It was disgusting. He strode to the front of the room and tried to turn it into a political rally… pic.twitter.com/lY0Uo5mIR6

In the last 24 hours since the Uvalde massacre, Fox News has proposed at least 50 "solutions" and none of them are gun control. pic.twitter.com/EqYcqk9H3k

“We’re going to look at the people who do these acts. We’re going to convict them and we’re going to punish them”

“Sir, you can’t convict him. He was killed along with 19 children in the school behind me” pic.twitter.com/Y5f6HZ0ZWU
Abbott held his press conference to discuss the mass shooting at the elementary school. Over 20 lives were lost to a senseless act of gun violence. So what does the governor and the Republicans do, deflect to things like rap music, mental illness, video games, Chicago and claims that the junk food media and Democrats are politicizing these mass shooting tragedies.
Last week, Abbott was politicizing the U.S.-Mexican border. He was politicizing the baby formula shortage. He was attacking Democrats for the controversial abortion law that made Texans report possible abortion performances.

| Some of the victims were confirmed. |
Sen. Karen Cruz (R-TX) also was in attendance. He would call for arming more teachers, having only one exit point and fuming at the "theater" that O'Rourke did. Many called out the idiot senator for saying that having one entry point only makes things worse when a disaster (such as a tornado, fire or earthquake) could greatly worsen tragedies.
Patrick was saying the same.
Rep. Karen Jackson, M.D. (R-TX) is the former doctor to Washed Up 45 and Barack Obama. He blamed rap music and video games. He said that we should return to "God, family and values."
The Republicans in the senate and the two Democrats are throwing around "heartbroken" and "shock."
People aren't buying their phony sympathy.
Be prepared for the word vomit from the likes of far-right agitators.
They'll bring up Chicago.....
Blame rap music.
Blame video games.
Claim the "sane" suspect was mentally ill.
Claim the Democrats are politicizing the tragedy.
Just last week, they were complaining about baby formula shortages and of course Abbott was talking about the U.S.-Mexican border. Stuff that plays on the culture wars and white nationalism the Republican Party embraces almost every day.
Softball Hannity, the most annoying media personality in the world has already deflected to Chicago by reading off names that he'll pull off a website to "honor" victims. In reality, he will never visit the city, never talk about how guns from other states coming into Illinois. He won't talk about how Chicago is working hard to curb gun violence and of course, it's a dog whistle to use when it involves Black on Black crime.
They already are talking about the guy who shot a random person in a New York subway.
So spare me the nonsense. It's time to put a formal ban on assault weapons like that. If you're not a military official or a police officer, you have no business using those weapons of mass destruction.
