O\u2019Rourke was then escorted from the venue by law enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>Faulkner noted, once the clip was over, that family members of the deceased and even some who had been injured themselves might have been in the room, looking for answers and comfort from their leadership, when O\u2019Rourke stormed the stage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose people en masse were hurting. Why would anybody who wants to run for governor of that state show up and act a fool like that?\u201d she asked, turning the question over to Hegseth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you are political to your core this is a moment for political grandstanding,\u201d Hegseth answered. \u201cWhere did he go? Right in front of the stage where all the cameras were trained, where the audio would be heard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hegseth went on to note that both Abbott and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R-TX) had been very gracious despite the interruption \u2014 and that it had been Mayor McLaughlin who had stood up and said he\u2019d had enough.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is his turf and his territory, and he has been clear from the beginning to say this will not be politicized. We will have the conversation later,\u201d Hegseth pointed out. \u201cIf Beto O\u2019Rourke is sincere about a wanting a solution, which I don\u2019t think he is, but if he was, you wouldn\u2019t start by impugning the motive of folks on the other side. It doesn\u2019t create the opportunity for that discussion. Political to its core and shameful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is not a leader. Can you imagine what that mayor has seen today? Or yesterday and today? He is not a leader, O\u2019Rourke, to walk into a situation and not just impugn them, but hurt them. He hurt them,\u201d Faulkner agreed.<\/p>\n<p>She went on to reference reports indicating that O\u2019Rourke had preplanned his disruption, having \u201cseat-holders\u201d make sure he\u2019d have a spot near the stage when he swept in at the last minute.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was planning to go right in front of those cameras. This is a man who plays to the cameras.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo thirsty,\u201d Faulkner concluded, reminding Hegseth of O\u2019Rourke\u2019s doomed 2020 presidential bid and his insistence on filming everything he did, from haircuts to dental visits. \u201cWe couldn\u2019t miss a moment of his life when he was running last time.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fox News hosts Harris Faulkner and Pete Hegseth offered sharp criticisms of Texas gubernatorial hopeful Beto O\u2019Rourke (D) after he crashed a formal press conference on Tuesday\u2019s tragic shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.
