We are in trouble, folks; the fascists are becoming ever more bold and dangerous, as witnessed by a nutball walking into a town hall with an AR-15. Video of the encounter is in the embedded tweets below (three parts for the full video) filmed by Shannon Watts of Mom’s Demand Action, a grassroots group fighting for policies that protect against gun violence.

A self-proclaimed "minister of the gospel" showed up to Beto O'Rourke's town hall in Hemphill, in East Texas, on Saturday, July 30, asking questions about abortion and if Jesus was the gubernatorial candidate's "lord and savior." The man did all this while carrying an assault-style rifle over his shoulder just months after a gunman used a similar rifle to kill students and teachers at an elementary school in Uvalde.
The man, who claimed to be a preacher, is seen in multiple videos posted to Twitter over the weekend. Before asking his question, the man says in the video that he was not at the town hall to talk about guns, asking O'Rourke how to "deal with the murder of the unborn for anything other than to save a woman’s life." The man then goes on to claim that there are plenty of "great men of god who are the product of rape."
Beto handled it well and was careful not to agitate the cleric holding an AR-15 with a pistol in his holster and bullets bulging from his pockets.
My apologies if this topic was covered by someone else.
