My, he's a rude little counterfeit Mexican, isn't he?

UVALDE, Texas (KXAN) — Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke crashed Gov. Greg Abbott’s press conference Wednesday as the governor was providing an update on the shooting at a Uvalde elementary school that killed at least 21 people Tuesday.

O’Rourke walked toward the stage after Abbott’s opening statement and could be heard saying “you are doing nothing.”

Sen. Ted Cruz responded to O’Rourke’s display, calling O’Rourke an “embarrassment.” Multiple other Texas leaders were standing on the stage surrounding Abbott, including Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and Texas Speaker Dade Pehlan.
