BPR "Remember Beto O’Rourke’s “I’m just born to be in it” Vanity Fair magazine cover?
"Well, the current Democratic candidate for Texas governor probably hopes you’ve forgotten it. After all, he eventually admitted that the pretentious cover and accompanying interview did much to torpedo his absurd dreams of occupying the Oval Office. But it suggests a pattern of ostentatious political stunts, and O’Rourke apparently hasn’t learned his lesson.
"On Wednesday afternoon, he interrupted Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s press conference on the Uvalde school shooting to shout and rave at those assembled. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who was present, told him he was “out of line and an embarrassment,” and Sen. Ted Cruz told him to “sit down.”
"O’Rourke’s stunt was pretty universally panned, and now a CBS News reporter is confirming that it certainly appeared he had staged the interruption.
"CBS News’ Janet Shamlian was present at the presser and noted that it appeared as if O’Rourke had sent in “seat holders” to occupy some chairs in the front row. She noticed that they quickly vacated them when O’Rourke showed up to make a spectacle of himself.". . .

Abbott during presser: "There were two people across the aisle from me and a moment before the press conference started, they got up from their seats when Beto walked in ... This seems something very clearly staged." pic.twitter.com/eaAxrZP6Gt

After O'Rourke comes Meghan Markle ‘We see you’: Meghan Markle’s ‘self-serving’ appearance at site of Texas massacre NOT well received (bizpacreview.com)
One tweet about this could apply to O'Rourke: Meghan Markle doesn't want the responsibility of royalty but wants all the perceived value of royalty. You're a two-bit barely known American actress. Your presence in TX at the site of a shooting is actively irritating and a distraction. Go home.
