A supporter of Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke confronted Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on a flight and asked him to name a single victim of the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, that took place in May. Video of that encounter is going viral on social media.
The video, which was posted on the Twitter account of Beto for Everyone is prefaced with this note:
“Senator Cruz was on my flight, and I asked him to name any of the Uvalde victims. He couldn’t.”

To that, the man retorts:
When another passenger says the man should let Cruz “fly in peace,” the O’Rourke supporter responds:
Cruz asks the man filming if he knew “the facts at all,” the man responds with a question of his own:
