In an MSNBC interview with Chris Hayes on Tuesday, Beto O’Rourke was critical of Republican politicians in Texas as the winter storm natural disaster continues to deeply harm the southern state.

“It’s worse than you are hearing,” he told host Chris Hayes. He described the people he’s been talking to, many of whom do not have power and are “desperate” and “suffering.” He explained how almost every major city in Texas would see sub-zero temperatures on Tuesday night, “and many of them will not have electricity, power, or in many instances, water.”
