Ever since Texas gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke staged a confrontation with actual Governor Greg Abbott during a press conference on Uvalde on Wednesday, Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert has been absolutely torching him on Twitter.
“Robert Francis O’Rourke storming a press conference meant to discuss a tragedy to push his doomed candidacy is disqualifying. Such a disgraceful twerp. Get the heck out of here preying on children’s graves. I never thought I could have even less respect for him. Pathetic!” Boebert tweeted.

Followed by “The Mayor of Uvalde is right. Beto is a ‘sick son of a bitch.’”
The Mayor of Uvalde is right. Beto is a “sick son of a bitch.”

Then, less than 10 minutes later: “Beto is a chump.”
Beto is a chump.

But Boebert wasn’t done with the press conference crasher, yet. She circled back for one more dig at the gubernatorial candidate: “It is Beta, actually, @TIME. You almost got it right.”

Uvalde residents aren’t too happy with Beto, either.
“Yeah it’s bull—-, man,” one resident, who requested to remain anonymous, told Fox News. “People are grieving, trying to process their loss and Beto is running around doing this stuff. It’s bull—-, save it for later.”
Fox News’ Lawrence Jones reported Thursday morning that “the town was not happy about this.”
“And just to put it into context, this is a Democrat area,” he said. “A lot of them are Democrats. This is not even about politics. This is about their loved ones. … He took this tragedy and made it about him.”
