He knew it was being televised. He used it as a platform for his own political agenda.<\/p>\n<p>It showed a total lack of respect for the families of all the individuals who died that day.

The victims weren\u2019t even buried, and yet this inane politician is trying to fetch a bigger audience for his self-indulgence.<\/p>\n<p>Using murder as a political edge is the height of hypocrisy.<\/p>\n<p><em>Vincent Conti<\/em><br \/><em>Staten Island<\/em><\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Rourke and his Democratic friends have replaced the traditional soapbox.

Quite a complex mix of variables.<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Rourke seems to be a one-trick pony. He should have been quiet and reflective, instead of loud and unruly.<\/p>\n<p><em>Martin Garfinkle<\/em><br \/><em>Staten Island<\/em><\/p>\n<p>As we have seen time and time again, if a parent exhibited the same behavior as O\u2019Rourke did at the Uvalde news conference, the police would have knocked them to the floor and handcuffed them.<\/p>\n<p>In O\u2019Rourke\u2019s case, he was allowed to come within a couple of feet of Abbott, Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin and Sen. Ted Cruz to vent his anger. He was then gently ushered out of the building, where he was allowed to continue his rant.<\/p>\n<p>If a similar situation were to happen in the presence of, say, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, that person would\u2019ve been arrested.<\/p>\n<p><em>Armand Rose<\/em><br \/><em>Arlington, NJ<\/em><\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Rourke, Gov. Kathy Hochul, Sen.
