Presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) appeared to hold back laughter when discussing the shooting in El Paso over the weekend that left 22 dead.

During the AFSCME 2020 Public Service Forum in Las Vegas on Saturday, Beto addressed breaking news of the mass shooting, saying he was immensely saddened by the tragedy – moments before a bizarre smile appears on his face.
