When listening to O'Rourke's rallies I note cheers coming from youthful voices
Ytuarte left the Democrats because of their policies, including “division about race policies” that drove him away.

CBS reporter on scene describes O’Rourke’s shameless stunt at Abbott presser: ‘Very clearly staged’ (bizpacreview.com) . . ."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.". . .
. . ."Shamlian continued: “So they were seat holders for him. And then he sat down, so his presence wasn’t really noticed in the 15 or 20 minutes that people were gathering inside because he was not in the room. So this seems something very clearly staged by Beto O’Rourke and his campaign wanting to confront the governor at this moment.”
"O’Rourke’s stunt is unlikely to win him many admirers, and his grandstanding during a somber event was tasteless in the extreme.". . .
