While Beto O' Rourke yard signs appear to be popular in the traditionally-liberal Montrose area, some residents proudly show their support for Texas Senator Ted Cruz.

And this week, one mustachioed man took aim at the Republican's yard signs in the Houston neighborhood, according to a now viral video posted on Facebook this week.

A homeowner living near the Black Hole Coffee House filmed the unidentified man as he uprooted and tore two signs from a nearby yard. The man also proclaimed, in a particularly demonic voice, that he hated Ted Cruz.

WARNING: GRAPHIC LANGUAGE

"Your vote is your voice," the homeowner, Alfred Ramos, told Chron.com. "No need to go nuts."

The post has garnered more than 500,000 views and 12,000 shared since is was posted Monday afternoon.

The video starts with the man about to uproot a sign from Ramos' yard, but the man stops when Ramos tells him it's his property.

The man then sets his sights on two yard signs across the street, pulling them out of the ground and ripping them up as Ramos follows.

"That's my neighbors property," Ramos said in the video. "He's a gun owner."

"Oh, I'm a gun owner, too," the man responds before taking the signs.

At one point, the man turned around and yelled "I hate Ted Cruz" into the camera in a strange voice. Ramos films him as he walks toward Black Hole coffee and eventually wanders away.

Ramos said he did not know the man's identity, adding that this isn't the first time someone has stolen yard signs in the area.

"You can't support conservatives in this area without having your signs stolen or damaged," he said.
