Beto O 'Rourke sells t-shirts This is F – ked Up & # 39; to raise funds for gun control

Beto's campaign O 'Rourke started selling a t-shirt that uses his weekend statement "This is F-ked Up" several times, announcing that the product will go to Moms Demand Action and March for Our Lives, two organizations lobbying for gun control.

Team Beto's story also revealed on Twitter: "If you're more upset about a curse than a baby being shot in the mouth, think about your choices."

In March, O 'Rourke promised to stop swearing after being reprimanded by a Wisconsin voter, stating, "Excellent point." And I do not intend to use the Word F in the future. "Point taken and very firmly worded … We're going to keep it clean." But he broke his commitment the following month and seems to have ignored it ever since.

Moments later, O & # 39; Rourke's Twitter account published a similar quote: "We do not know how many people were killed, we do not know the motivation, but here's what we know: It's screwed in the air. "

While police tried to control the shooting in Odessa, O'Rourke took advantage of the shooting to demand more gun control. He criticized Congress for what he saw as an inaction on gun law, saying lawmakers "will not even pass universal background checks or close loopholes that allow people to buy a gun while they should not be able to do it. "
