"You are doing nothing"
Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate Beto O'Rourke interrupted Texas Gov. Greg Abbott during a press conference in Uvalde after the mass shooting that left 19 children and two adults dead.
Abbott said he would be passing the microphone to Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, when O'Rourke stood up. "You are doing nothing," O'Rourke said.
Law enforcement officers appeared to escort O'Rourke out of the news conference afterward. CBS News' Janet Shamalian said it appeared that some people had saved seats for O'Rourke.
After O'Rourke was escorted out, Abbott did not address the incident directly but called for unity, saying that "every Texan, every American has a responsibility where we need to focus not on ourselves and our agendas, but we need to focus on the healing and hope that we can provide those who have suffered unconscionable damage to their lives and loss of life."

Wow!! I've never seen O'Rourke so riled up....And I totally agree with his stance!
Abbott and the Republicans only care about their guns!! Not the loss of life that they cause!!

Beto is angry and rightfully so. He wasn’t grandstanding.
