(Mineral Wells, TX) — Democratic gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke is going viral after slamming a heckler during a speech on Wednesday.

O’Rourke was gathered with supporters, and some apparent opposers, at a town hall in Mineral Wells. He was talking about the mass school shooting in Uvalde when he was interrupted by the laughter of a man in the back of the room. O’Rourke then lashed out at the heckler calling him a “M-Fer”. The heckler was holding a Governor Greg Abbott campaign sign, so the crowd, filled mostly with O’Rourke’s supporters, erupted in cheers.

Today his “Drive for Texas” tour will move on to Decatur and Fort Worth.

The Democratic candidate, who has pushed for more restrictive gun laws, will face off against GOP Governor Greg Abbott in November.
