Beto O'Rourke launches new attack ads against Gov. Greg Abbott that features the family of 10-year-old Uvalde school shooting victim.
In this screenshot taken from an ad launched by Beto O'Rourke against Gov. Greg Abbott, Ana Rodriguez, the mother of 10-year-old Uvalde victim Maite Yuleana Rodriguez, details why she will be voting for O'Rourke in the upcoming election.Democratic candidate for governor Beto O’Rourke is launching a new gut-wrenching ad Saturday featuring the mother of one of the 4th graders murdered at Robb Elementary in Uvalde.
“Those shoes ended up being one way to identify her body in that classroom,” Ana Rodriguez says as videos and photos of her daughter fill the screen. “I never want another family to go through this.” Rodriguez then turns her attention to Gov. Greg Abbott, saying he’s done nothing to stop the next shooting.Abbott’s office has touted a series of steps he’s taken in Uvalde since the shooting as evidence that he is acting. That has included investing $5 million in a Family Resiliency Center in Uvalde to be a hub of community services and mental health care resources. They have also pointed to more than $1.
But Abbott has made clear he doesn’t think Texas can do some of the things families have been asking for - namely raising the age to purchase weapons like the AR-15 used by the shooter in Uvalde to kill the 19 children and two teachers. The shooter in Uvalde was 18 and waited until his birthday to buy the weapon he used.
During the debate on Friday night, Abbott said he doesn’t believe it is constitutional to raise the age to buy some weapons, even though Florida, New York and California have already taken similar steps. Legal experts have disputed his claim, but Abbott said families are being given “false promises.”
