, a Republican, had not taken meaningful enough action on gun control measures following the deaths of 19 schoolchildren and two teachers.
“Had Abbott prioritized the lives of his most vulnerable constituents over guns, then I wouldn’t be here today. I would be at home with Lexi,” she said. “Vote for Beto because a vote for Abbott is a grave mistake.” “They’re owed the memories of their daughters and sons kept alive forever,” he said. “And they’re also owed action.”
“What did he mean?” Felix Rubio, Lexi’s father, said during the news conference. “I don’t want to know. This November, let’s do what we can and vote Abbott out.”
