Slate: Texas Lawmaker Issues Death Threat to Beto O’Rourke After Debate Pledge to Take Away Assault-Style Weapons
“My AR is ready for you … ” the Texas state representative tweeted at the presidential candidate.
Twitter took this tweet down saying it violated its terms of service. And O’Rourke responded saying, “This is a death threat, Representative. Clearly, you shouldn’t own an AR-15—and neither should anyone else.”
GOP Texas state Rep. Briscoe Cain tweeted at Beto O’Rourke saying, “My AR is ready for you Robert Francis,” in response to O’Rourke’s mandatory gun buyback proposal.
Cain’s tweet was removed by Twitter. “Cain is making the case that no one should have an AR-15,” O’Rourke says. pic.twitter.com/XL2YOsdIhv
