Until we know all the facts......

let’s not start rumors or speculate on the truth.

The AP has story about how wrong depiction can be read and taken for what people think they heard or read.

For instance, Paul Gosar falsely twitted out a vulgar claim about the shooter, which was removed later from his account.

So, the facts will come out about how this shooting happened. Please, make sure you have the facts before you put it out there. Let’s be careful, the GOBers do enough of disinformation baiting!

On a side note. In a photo from the AP, Ted Cruz was standing behind Gov. Abbott during the news conference yesterday. The photo showed Cruz looking straight out into the crowd! I wonder if he was thinking about another trip to Cancun ! He looked very disingenuously bored being at the news conference.

As Beto approached the stage. I recognized that whiny voice instantly, it makes me cringe. Agree on facts.
