Texas gubernatorial candidate Beto O'Rourke was escorted out of Gov. Greg Abbott’s press conference on a school shooting that left 19 children dead.
O'Rourke, a Democrat, started yelling at Abbott about gun control laws during the May 25 press conference. He was immediately branded an “embarrassment” by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick.
