Online Public Relations Thoughts

The Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate interrupted a press conference focused on the shooting of 19 children and two teachers to call for gun control. He was shouted down and escorted out by the police.  There are appropriate times for politics but this wasn't one.  The mayor of the small Texas town was deeply offended and had a right to be.  There is no telling what this will do to his candidacy for the highest office in Texas, but it couldn't have helped.  What was he thinking?  He might be deeply concerned about the lack of gun laws in the state but that should have been reserved for a time away from grieving parents.  It was poor PR and a bad showing.
