Some have labeled Beto O'Rourke's fiery exchange as a 'stunt' to jumpstart his campaign.
Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin responded by calling O’Rourke a "sick son of a b---h" before the latter was escorted out of the auditorium.
"What Beto did was incredibly brave," Jennifer Holdsworth Karp, Democratic Strategist, told Fox News Digital. "He respectfully waited for Governor Abbot to conclude his remarks, and then stood up to the Republicans on that stage without raising his voice." But Texas-based GOP consultant Matt Mackowiak believes that O’Rourke’s display disqualifies him as a potential leader in the state.
"Beto O’Rourke showed yet again that he is unfit for high office by causing a scene while federal, state and local officials were briefing the media and the local community," he continued. "Beto’s desire to ‘go viral’ was obscene and disqualifying."
