Beto O’Rourke addresses supporters gathered at an election night rally Tuesday, March 1, 2022 in Fort Worth, TX.Former Texas congressman Beto O’Rourke used some of his sharpest language of the campaign to attack Gov. Greg Abbott on Saturday, describing the two-term Republican as a “thug” and an “authoritarian” during an appearance at Austin’s South by Southwest festival.
O’Rourke, a Democrat who represented the El Paso area in Congress for three terms, is seeking to deny Abbott a third term in the November election. Both recently won their party primaries. O’Rourke narrowly lost a bid to unseat U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz in 2018. The Wall Street Journal has reported that Energy Transfer Partners made an additional $2.4 billion last year when the state's grid manager pushed power prices sky-high to end rolling blackouts. The freeze killed more than 200 people by the state's estimate — and hundreds more by one count — and resulted in billions in property damages.
“You think there are rigged elections in other parts of the planet,” O’Rourke said. “It is the toughest state in the nation in which to vote, right here.”
