The Democratic opportunist, hoping to snag Texas’ top spot as Governor spoke to the press Wednesday after he interrupted a press conference regarding the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas. O’Rourke was removed from the press conference after a local official called him a “sick son-of-a-bitch” for utilizing the event to make a political statement. When speaking to the press, he said, “The only thing evil is what he [Governor Abbott] continues to do to the people of this state.” He also said that these events will “continue to happen” because Abbott refuses to “stand up to the people of Texas,” going on to imply all Texans were at fault for the death of the children killed in Tuesday’s mass shooting.
