Did it help or hurt him politically? Is an opportunist or was he the man of the hour.

You decide.

I wonder how he's going to spin his most recent statement about guns and the 2A?

“I’m not interested in taking anything from anyone. What I want to make sure that we do is defend the Second Amendment.

He done politically in TX. There’s no way he’ll win office after this opportunistic stunt. He’s a jerk for doing it.

Regardless of how you feel about gun laws Beto grandstanding was completely inappropriate.

Beto O'Rourke Crashes...

Stopping the thread title there would have been sufficient.

Giving him the benefit of the doubt being that his hometown had one of the deadliest mass shootings in Texas history (followed by Sutherland Springs Church shooting and Luby's shooting in Killeen) and that also the community of Uvalde shares the same demographics as his hometown.

I won't doubt his sincerity here, but he probably picked the wrong forum to do it in and the Uvalde mayor not backing him certainly looked really bad.

It is both. He is right in what he said but what we are all seeing from the left, right, etc. is all political theater. What Abbott is saying about "thoughts and prayers" is political theater. What Beto did, was political theater as well.

He's a joke to both parties, but the opinion of his stunt will fall predictably across party lines.

Dems will say it was a positive and necessary thing.

Repubs will say he was using the shooting as a political stunt.
