As O’Rourke, a former congressman who represented El Paso, Texas, and is a former Senate and presidential candidate, interrupted officials, he could be heard saying to those on stage, “This is completely predictable.”
Among those on stage with Abbott was Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, against whom O’Rourke was vying for his failed Senate nomination in 2018.

“Sit down and don’t let these things go,” Cruz said, shaking his head.
O’Rourke was then taken away by officers.
