Demonstrators dancing to Kid Rock and toting “Abbott for Governor” signs heckled Democratic Texas gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke as he left a campaign event in Texas on Friday.
O’Rourke wrapped up an hour-long campaign stop in Rockdale, Texas, Friday evening and walked back to his truck through a crowd of Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott supporters. Several boisterous people walked O’Rourke back to his vehicle, waving Abbott signs and dancing along to Kid Rock’s “We the People.”
O’Rourke is using the months left before the election to hit campaign stops across Texas, even in deep red Milam County, which voted more than 75% in favor of former President Donald Trump in the 2020 election.
