When addressing a crowd soon after the Saturday shooting in Odessa, TX, Beto O’Rourke tweeted, “We don’t know how many have been killed. We don’t know the motivation. But there’s what we do know: This is f***ed up.” The day after the Odessa shooting, Mr. O’Rourke stated on CNN, “We’re averaging about 300 mass shootings a year. No other country comes close, so yes, this is f***ed up….If we don’t call it for what it is, if we’re not able to speak clearly, if we’re not able to act decisively, then we’ll continue to have this kind of bloodshed in America, and I cannot accept that.”
This recurring “This is f***ed up” phrase has now launched a line of t-shirt, by Mr. O’Rourke’s campaign, available on Mr. O’Rourke’s official web site store, with all proceeds going to gun control charities.
