O'Rourke calls out lawmakers after Odessa shooting: 'This is ****ed up'
The Hill ^ | 8/31/2019 | Marina Pitofsky

After a gunman in west Texas killed five people and injured more than 20 in Midland and Odessa Saturday, White House hopeful and former Texas lawmaker Beto O’Rourke (D) said that, while the facts of the shooting have not been released by officials, “we do know this is f—ed up."

“Not sure how many gunmen. Not sure how many people have been shot. Don’t know how many people have been killed. The condition of those who have survived. Don’t know what the motivation is, do not yet know the firearms that were used or how they acquired them,” O’Rourke told a crowd of supporters during a campaign speech in Fairfax Station, Virginia.

“But we do know this is f-cked up. We do know that this has to stop in this country. There is no reason that we have to accept this as our fortune, as our future, as our fate,” he continued. (snip)

“This is not an act of God. This is not some natural disaster. This is a human-caused problem with a human solution, and, if you’re willing, we can be the humans who are going to do something about this,” O’Rourke said.

Apparently Texas need USPS Truck Control...

Maybe a smart truck so only the authorized can make it move.

Reminds me of Jesse Jackson rushing to MLK’s death scene to smear himself in the blood for political gain.

This goofball was tweeting in Spanish. I can’t imagine why he’s poll 1% in Iowa, I hear they swoon for Spanish-speaking politicians.

After you drop out of the primary, O’Rourke, please go away and don’t run for another federal office. I am so sick of you.

The 40 year old adolescent speaks.

Instead of reading a book or going sailing, bar top Bob is “outraged”.

Just like the fake news media thought they were so edgy when they repeated Pres.Trump’s sh*thole nations remark, acting like a bunch of immature jr high school punks. OOOH look at us, we’re saying words you can’t say on TV! We’re the cool kids! We’re so badass!! The mere fact FRANCES O Rourke has any following is scary.

This is a human-caused problem

So why does he want to ban guns?
