Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate Beto O'Rourke speaks at a campaign rally on Tuesday, Nov. 16, 2021 in San Antonio, Texas. O'Rourke drew a large crowd at his first campaign event since announcing his candidacy on Monday, Nov. 15, for what could be a closely watched 2022 Texas gubernatorial race between O'Rourke and Republican incumbent Gov. Greg Abbott.
Suddenly a national figure, the defeated Democrat launched a presidential campaign. Like Icarus, he burned and crashed. We asked about challenges he’s facing on the campaign trail this time around, how much, for instance, his infamous quote, “hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15” is still ringing in the ears of gun owners who might otherwise be inclined to vote for him but have the false impression that he doesn’t support Second Amendment rights.
And he answered them, before a national audience and political opponents who will never let him forget it.“Look, when I’m in a park at six o’clock, and it’s dark in December, and it’s, you know, 35 degrees in Amarillo, Texas, and 350 people show up as they did a month and a half ago, that’s a good sign to me,” he said.
