confronted a heckler Wednesday at a campaign event who laughed while he was talking about the Uvalde school shooting, telling the person, “It may be funny to you, motherfucker, but it is not funny to me.”The moment, which spread quickly online afterward, came as the Democratic gubernatorial challenger was hosting an evening town hall in Mineral Wells.
It is unclear who exactly was laughing, but tweets from the event showed there was a group of protesters present holding campaign signs for Republican Gov.. On one live broadcast, the camera panned to the group after O’Rourke’s response and showed one of them laughing. O’Rourke is on a 49-day tour of the state, and Abbott’s campaign has been organizing protests at O’Rourke stops. That has led to some tense moments — as well as some cordial moments between O’Rourke and Republicans who have shown up. He has made multiple social media posts throughout the tour showing off interactions with people who have attended the events wearing Republican gear.
“What’s been happening is he is snapping pictures with our supporters and then posting saying he’s converting them to support him,” Anderson wrote.O’Rourke leaving an event Sunday in Rockdale surrounded by police officers as he made his way through a rowdy crowd of protesters, some waving Abbott signs.
Oh no! He did a swear. Guess he shouldn’t be Governor. /s 🙄

Thankfully I no longer support this liberal station with my dollars.
