Joe Scarborough’s defense of Beto O’Rourke’s sick stunt doesn’t hold up to fact-checks from David Harsanyi and Charles Cooke (twitchy.com)

Shot:

There are several here who fit the definition of “Sick Son of a Bitch” in this picture, but none go by the name of Beto. Look instead at the freaks who keep gutting gun laws so 18 year olds can buy weapons designed for war to go into schools and slaughter babies. THAT is sick.

Chaser #1:

This is just an outright lie. None of the laws signed by Abbott had anything to do with the shooting. Nada.

Chaser #2:

Texas hasn’t changed a single law governing the sale of rifles since JFK was president. The only change has been a tightening of those laws, by the federal government, in 1993.
