<p>Texas Democrat gubernatorial candidate Beto O&#8217;Rourke faced intense backlash on Wednesday afternoon after he crashed a press conference from the state&#8217;s top officials to promote his political ambitions.</p>
<p>O&#8217;Rourke interrupted a press conference held by Governor Greg Abbott (R) and other elected officials in response to the tragedy on Tuesday at Robb Elementary School. An 18-year-old Latino male <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-disturbing-details-emerge-about-shooter-who-attacked-texas-elementary-school">stormed</a> the building and opened fire on students, killing at least 19 children, before a nearby U.S. Border Patrol agent rushed into the building and killed the suspect.</p>
<p>Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin blasted O&#8217;Rourke, <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2022/05/25/beto-orourke-greg-abbott-uvalde-shooting/">saying</a> to his face, “I can’t believe that you’re a sick son of a b**** that would come to a deal like this to make a political issue.&#8221;</p>
<p>O&#8217;Rourke faced widespread backlash online for his stunt while simultaneously receiving praise from the far-Left.</p>
<p>&#8220;Beto danced on the dead bodies of children,&#8221; political commentator Mike Cernovich tweeted. &#8220;He’ll be celebrated by the regime media for this. They have no decency.&#8221;</p>
<p>Radiologist Pradheep J. Shanker tweeted, &#8220;So Beto is such a prick that he just hogged the limelight from 20 murder victims.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Hell, even if you are a liberal, you should be pissed,&#8221; Shanker continued. &#8220;Now the story at least partially will be about Beto instead of focused on what it should be about. What an absolute disgrace.&#8221;</p>
<p>Other notable responses included:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Michael Berry</strong>, radio host: &#8220;Beto O&#8217;Rourke is running such a sad campaign for governor in Texas that he had to attend a press release where our Republican governor was speaking and heckle him &amp; be removed. Like some damn p***y hat wearing madwoman. Sad. Poor fella has become a joke.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Jimmy Failla</strong>, radio host: &#8220;BETO just got thrown out of the Governor’s Presser for heckling. It’s pathetic stuff but it’s nice to see him getting rejected by someone besides the voters.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Lisa Boothe</strong>, Fox News: &#8220;What a trash human being.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Rob Schmitt</strong>, Newsmax: &#8220;Beto, about to lose again for the 30th time, is desperate for a viral moment. He’ll be on Joy Reid tonight. A hero of the anti-gun left, which is virtually non existent in the state he hopes to govern. Politically clueless.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Lawrence Jones III</strong>, Fox News: &#8220;That was a sick political stunt by Beto in a time of mourning.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Dana Loesch</strong>, radio host: &#8220;<span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">Despicable. </span><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-b88u0q r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">Beto</span><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0"> grandstands during this presser for his political ambition. JUST WOW.&#8221;</span></li>
