1. K & R!

[agingdem]

2. he did it right..

he had something to say and he was not going to allow anyone to talk over him...good for him

[Irish_Dem]

3. He is showing true grit like Zelensky.

[Peregrine Took]

19. Well said, Irish Dem. n/t

[RiverStone]

27. Agree!! True grit is what it will take

To stand up to the gun lobby and the cowardly republicans who are in their pockets as bought and paid for.

[jcgoldie]

4. we need this passion.

fuck the political pragmatism calculations of it... beto will change minds.

[crickets]

6. Yes! Beto is fired up and he's *right*. nt

[ProudMNDemocrat]

5. Beto is FRAMING his argument....Getting his message out.

1. He has a long term strategy.
2. He knows his argument frame.
3. He refuses to be nice.
4. He is throwing punches.

In a nutshell, he is getting across to voters. Beto got under the skins of Gregg Abbot and the Mayor of Uvalde, Texas. Getting into "good trouble" in the way Beto can. Rest assure he will be in Houston on Friday to join in on any protesting when the NRA has their rah-rah convention.

[LakeArenal]

7. 5. He refused to be interrupted.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

9. Yes indeed.

[Ohioboy]

14. Yes, he didn't allow the usual distraction

[malaise]

8. He is going to win

GoTexas voters! Go Beto!

[walkingman]

12. I hope so - I donated today!!

[Lonestarblue]

24. Please, please, let it be so! I can't stand much more of Abbott and friends.

11. Beto was speaking for 90% of Americans, and that band of political

crooks in Texas at the school were representing the other 10%. They kicked out the voice of the American people, and stood for the dregs.

[regnaD kciN]

13. "WhY wAs He So UnCiViL???"

[patphil]

15. Wow! He was absolutely incandescent!

This man has passion; he isn't afraid to speak truth to power.
There's not a bit of bullshit in this guy.
On the other hand, Abbott, Patrick, and Paxton could fertilize a 10,000 acre farm with the crap they're spewing out...human manure spreaders.
And they're totally unconcerned about the deaths their morally depraved and spiritually bankrupt gun policies are causing.

[SunImp]

16. Good on him

[WiVoter]

17. Infinity Rec For Beto!

He will be governor of Texas. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[llmart]

18. THIS is what we need more of in this country!

People with backbone and courage and unafraid of the likes of Abbott and his goons. He is young, he is passionate, he has energy and he is sincere.

We need more just like him.

[dchill]

20. Thumbs up!

[erronis]

21. I'll donate to Beto. Just want the money to go to his campaign, not "the machine".

The machine has caused democrats to lose what they could have won.

(Howard Dean democrat here.)

[In It to Win It]

22. I hope Texas isn't stupid twice not to elect this man

I won't hold my breath though

[Emile]

23. That god awful governor inside politicizing over those children deaths

was sickening. Beto is rightly fired up.

[Pepsidog]

25. Can't buy alcohol or tobacco but 18yr old can buy AR.

[Skittles]

26. Beto makes a good point

repukes like to point to mental illness as the cause, not guns - but they fail there as well - they show ZERO support for adequate mental healthcare

[calimary]

29. And I heard on the news that the shooter didn't have

a record of mental health problems.

[Skittles]

31. um

a brief description of his sad life pretty much indicates he had severe mental issues that were never addressed

[calimary]

28. And Thank God he did!

Saying the things that need to be said.

And REPEATED!!!!!

[Novara]

30. I hope to hell he is the next governor of Texas

Once he has a bit of that experience under his belt, then he should run for president. I didn't like him running for president before because I didn't think he had enough experience.

[Wild blueberry]

32. Beto speaks for me and everyone I know

Thank you.

[TomSlick]

33. He took the media with him when he left the dog-and-pony show in the hall.

I bet Abbott is still fuming.

[hamsterjill]

38. They were pissed!

I heard it on good authority that Cruz was especially peeved that Beto took most of the media with him outside.

[towerbum]

34. protect Texas - Abbott & Texas republican's have got to go !

[NJCher]

35. just saw clip from before the above on evening news

ABC.

This clip was inside and when he spoke, the security around Abbott looked very threatened and then they started advancing on Beto.

I wish I could watch it twice. Wow, unbelievable.

The beginning of the segment talked about how Abbott was saying guns are not the problem.

I don't live in Texas and from what I've heard they're gun crazy down there, so maybe Abbott can get away with this. I find it unbelievable myself.

[FM123]

42. Wonderful to see all the support - thanks for posting the twitter replies

[bucolic_frolic]

39. Beto is onto something big time

Jump into the rage and shock and anger while it's raw and hot, instead of cowering into the background with fear. Couple the rage with change while people can really feel it. This is how it's done. This is how you make change.

[leftyladyfrommo]

40. GO GOOD GUYS! We need to defy the Maggots.

A lot of fire is good when the stakes are so damn high.

[SYFROYH]

41. It was well orchestrated.

[llashram]

43. truth

in comments and questions by this brave man. And the sad part is, gun nuts booted him...

[Glaisne]

44. Beto needs to go all out.

He's got nothing to lose. He needs to keep being confrontational calling out the Repubs. Being nice will not work.
