Cultists Attempt To Disrupt O’Rourke Rally With Sirens

Texas Public Radio reports:

Fredericksburg is the county seat of Gillespie County, which supported Trump in 2020 with nearly 80% of its 12,000 ballots cast during the election. Beto O’Rourke’s visit came soon after the entire three person staff of the county’s Elections Department resigned over threats made against the former elections administrator since the 2020 election.

Supporters of Gov. Greg Abbott and Trump gathered outside a pavilion at Lady Bird Johnson Park and played sirens and loud country music with the apparent intent to disrupt the rally. After approaching the opened side doors of the venue, O’Rourke briefly turned his attention to them.

“Lest we be annoyed or judge these Abbott people, let’s have a little bit of sympathy,” he said. “Their candidate never shows up to talk to them and listen to what they have to say in Fredericksburg so they had to come to our stuff.”
