Democratic gubernatorial candidate Beto O’ Rourke slammed Gov. Greg Abbott during a sit-down interview at SXSW, calling Abbott a “thug” and an “authoritarian” and comparing Texas energy executives to Russian oligarchs.
O’Rourke, 49, represented El Paso for three terms in the U.S. House. He challenged U.S. Sen.in 2018, losing by less than 3 percentage points, a remarkable showing in a state that hasn’t elected a Democrat statewide since 1994. In 2019, O’Rourke entered the race for Democratic nominee for president. He struggled to raise much money or get much attention and dropped out later that year.
Smith, the moderator, drew attention to a line O’Rourke used in a Democratic presidential debate in September 2019, when he vowed, “Hell, yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47. We’re not going to allow it to be used against our fellow Americans anymore.” He added, “If I can find the consensus within the Legislature to have a law within the state of Texas that allows us to buy back the AR-15s and AK-47s, we will.” Texas last year began— even though most voters did not support such permitless carry. The prospects for a large-scale gun buyback would seem slim.
“It appears if you want Beto to tell the truth, you need to put him in front of out-of-state liberal elitists, not the people of Texas,” Miner said.
