Texas Democratic gubernatorial nominee Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke’s disgusting and obviously-staged political stunt during a press conference about the Ross Elementary School massacre is just another of the many ways that prove the man is “human trash,” Glenn Beck and Stu Burguiere agreed on the radio program Thursday.
“Beto is human trash. He is scum. He is the scum of the earth, the lowest form of humanity our society can produce,” Stu said in response to a video clip of O’Rourke heckling Gov. Greg Abbott in the middle of an update on the tragic mass killing in Uvalde. “This was obviously staged from the beginning … clearly planned. Even CBS News pointed it out it was blatantly a staged event. And this guy [O’Rourke], because he wants more power and more money, decided that this event was about him. He wanted to make the [deaths] of 19 children and teachers all about Beto O’Rourke because he is human scum. He is the worst form of life imaginable on this Earth.”
Democrats like O’Rourke have been quick to use the tragic deaths of 19 children to advance their own pro-gun law political agendas, particularly “red flag” laws that would empower courts to take guns away from “potentially dangerous” people
“You want a solution? Stop selling AR-15s in the state of Texas. You want a solution? Have universal background checks. We don’t have them. You want a solution? Red flag laws or extreme risk protection orders, which stop a shooting before it happens,” O’Rourke shouted after being escorted out of the press conference.
Glenn wasn’t buying O’Rourke’s “righteous indignation,” especially as his own resurfaced writings qualify as the “ultimate red flag for any red flag law.” As a teen, O’Rourke wrote about hacking, overthrowing the government, and, most disturbingly, murdering children by running over them with his car.
Glenn read an excerpt from a fiction O’Rourke wrote when he was 15 years old:
[O]ne day, as I was driving home from work, I noticed two children crossing the street. They were happy, happy to be free from their troubles. I knew, however, that this happiness and sense of freedom were much too overwhelming for them. This happiness was mine by right. I had earned it in my dreams.
As I neared the young ones, I put all my weight on my right foot, keeping the accelerator pedal on the floor until I heard the crashing of the two children on the hood, and then the sharp cry of pain from one of the two. I was so fascinated for a moment, that when after I had stopped my vehicle, I just sat in a daze, sweet visions filling my head.
“Dangerous, right? Nothing good’s going to come of this. According to Reuters, those are the teenage writings of Beto O’Rourke,” Glenn said. “The state of Texas should be very aware and not allow [O’Rourke] to buy a gun because of this. This guy, this guy, and his righteous indignation — give it a rest, bud. Give it a rest.”
