CLAIM: There were not enough ambulances available to save the victims of a recent mass shooting in Odessa, Texas.
VERDICT: FALSE. The City of Odessa said that its ambulances responded to the shooting quickly.
Former Rep. Beto ORourke (D-TX) received praised from his rivals onstage at the third Democrat debate at Texas Southern University in Houston, Texas, on Thursday evening. But he is being criticized by local West Texas CBS affiliate KOSA-7, which says that his claim that there were not enough ambulances available is absolutely wrong.
ORourke said during the debate (transcript via ABC News):
When we see that being used against children, and in Odessa, I met the mother of a 15-year-old girl who was shot by an AR-15, and that mother watched her bleed to death over the course of an hour because so many other people were shot by that AR-15 in Odessa and Midland, there werent enough ambulances to get to them in time, hell, yes, were going to take your AR-15, your AK-47.

How did this idiot even get elected to congress? His is district moon-bat heaven or something?
Well, we all know he’s full of $hit to begin with, so this is not surprising.
A woman in a hot air balloon realizes she is lost. She lowers her altitude and spots a man fishing from a boat below. She shouts to him, “Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don’t know where I am.”
The man consults his portable GPS and replies, “You’re in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.
She rolls her eyes and says, “You must be a Republican!”
“I am,” replies the man. “How did you know?”
“Well,” answers the balloonist, “everything you tell me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to do with your information, and I’m still lost. Frankly, you’re not much help to me.”
The man smiles and responds, “You must be a Democrat.”
“I am, replies the balloonist. “How did you know?”
“Well,” says the man, “You don’t know where you are or where you’re going. You’ve risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and now you expect me to solve your problem. You’re in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but, somehow, now it’s my fault.”
Is there anything Democrat candidates don’t know? They even know exactly how many ambulances every town should have. They are the smartest people that God ever made.
No matter, truth over facts.
What’s a little “wrong” when everyone else is a racist? It’s still a superior moral pedestal upon which to hoist oneself.
[ Fact Check: Beto ORourke Absolutely Wrong on Ambulance Shortage After Texas Shootings ]
Unfortunately, all the fact-checking, truth, proof, etc. will not do a thing to a liberal once he or she or it has heard the lie. They will repeat that lie for years.
They are completely impervious to the truth in any form.
Because, Russian Collusion ‘n’ stuff, ya know.
Joto won his election by default.All his opponents were under Federal indictment or likely to be.
Beta Boy is absolutely wrong about everything.
It's the only thing that makes her even moderately received and the majority of moderately breasted women of the world should be outraged at her “privilege”.
Wrong thread my FRiend.
Theyre not even real. First boob job around 1998 or so.
His father was a county judge on the take, his mother was running a business that was a front for money laundering, and his father-in-law was running a secretive real estate enterprise with members on both sides of the America-Mexico border. Somebody wanted an insider in Congress.
Various sites on the internets connect dots across the O'Rourke family that are not favorable to a Presidential run. Many of the sites are of dubious pedigree, but even a review of Snopes contains the major threads that the dots are connected through. There are even newspaper clippings that prove that the basic factual incidents occurred, if not the imputed motives or dot connections.
The allegations are that:

“...were going to take your AR-15, your AK-47...”
My AR-15’s ready for you, punk ass boy.
Like Biden and most other Pols he reads whatever his handlers put in front of him. If he does it correctly he gets another doggie treat or a shot of booze.
It was not a mistake what he said. He deliberately lied in an attempt to make his story sound better. The City of Odessa said that its ambulances responded to the shooting quickly.
