Instead of 40 billion for Ukraine, how about 40 billion for mental health

[aceofspades]

Beto??? Really you fools?!? His name is bob!!! There is a sucker born every minute…

[swolyjr]

I have zero respect for any beto. Quiet as can be while the country falls apart but soon as a gun issue arises here he comes out the wood work!

[sergiocampos]

Hahahaha what a clown this guy Beto is!!

[eazystreet]

Governor Abbott handling the shootings like he handled the winter electrical blackout.

[matthubbard]

Time and place please wait till debates not when were trying to address serious issues.

[heslind]

The old guy sounds like he barely has an 8th grade education.

[qandidhater]

Just wanna say gun control became a political issue years ago when members from both parties accepted funds from NRA.

[ploppill]

Abbott had been discussing issues related to mental health when O'Rourke should take advantage of that help

[bravom]

Crazy to think an 18yr old isn’t old enough to buy alcohol, but he is old enough to buy a gun. Mind boggling. Don’t forget to also thank the innocent children and teachers along with soldiers for our freedom.

[freddobbs]

Has that Beto bum ever had a real job in his life??

[raulibarra]

Unfortunetly some people will praise him for this.

[freakdawg]

at least put a sign on the front of schools saying they are gun free zones so the criminals wont do this again because if the criminals and mental people see this sign they will just walk away

[LoireValleyChateaux]

Beto the drunk driver who drove a truck into a family of 5 then ran from the scene of the crime just ended what little prospects he had left. Beto didn't need a gun to almost end the lives of 5 innocent people. ❤️🙏

Robert Francis O’Rourke is the biggest political tool I’ve ever seen. Embarrassment to politicians, and that’s saying a lot.

[sharongrainer]

that was better than a campaign speech, shame on you beto

[hawaiibound]

WEAR ORANGE IN NOVEMBER AND VOTE BETO FOR TEXAS

[chaos]

I'm surprised Cruz is there...thought he'd be in cancun by now...

[Maddyy]

All the people saying Good Job Beto..he chose to do it in the middle of the live conference because he was trying to benefit himself. He is a selfish person.

[sandraward]

..and this is a person who wants to lead texas..this is the same person who tried to leave the scene of a auto accident because he didn't want negative publicity..and now this smuck is using a tragedy to enhance his political goals..this is the signs of a person who doesn't care about other people and Texans most certainly need this kind of leadership..go back to ur 'rock' band mr beto..😑
