Moments ago, during a press conference by Governor Abbott on the Uvalde school massacre yesterday, Beto O’Rourke made his way in and interrupted Abbott while he was speaking, saying in front of the stage something that I’m sure was about gun control.

I couldn’t make out everything Beto said and, to be honest, I don’t care. We all know what Beto is about and he’s nothing but a socialist gun-grabber.
But this was nothing but a political stunt by a desperate candidate when he knew the entire nation was watching. And it’s disgusting that he would politicize an event like this for his own gain.
UPDATE: Here’s a video with better audio where one of the men on stage calls Beto a ‘sick son of a bitch’:

UPDATE 2: I’ll throw this is in here because I believe it was Abbott’s response after Beto was escorted out. Either way, it’s a great statement by the Governor:

End updates.
During the presser, Abbott detailed three Facebook posts left by the psychopath gunman yesterday:

Also, it’s reported that Abbott said the grandmother called police after she was shot:
NEW: Texas Gov. Abbott says the shooter's grandmother called police after being shot in the face.
The shooter may have a juvenile record, he says.
He also posted on Facebook saying, "I am going to shoot an elementary school" just 15 minutes before the shooting, Abbott says.

Gov. Abbott also says that he posted on Facebook "I'm going to shoot my grandmother", then he posted "I shot my grandmother", then he posted "I am going to shoot an elementary school" just 15 minutes before the shooting.
