A Republican lawmaker from Texas made what Beto O'Rourke called a"death threat" against the Democratic presidential candidate on Twitter, prompting a report to the FBI.In response to a question about his proposal that owners of assault weapons be forced to sell them to the government, O'Rourke said,"Hell yes, we're going to take your AR-15, your AK-47."Hell yes, we're gonna take your AR-15.
O'Rourke's birth name is Robert Francis O'Rourke, and he has been mocked by Republican lawmakers for using his nickname, Beto. He responded with his own tweet, saying,"This is a death threat, Representative. Clearly, you shouldn't own an AR-15—and neither should anyone else."The O'Rourke campaign is reporting the original tweet from Cain to the FBI, a campaign official told ABC News.Twitter users responded with disbelief, and Cain called one commenter"an idiot.
Earlier this month, he wrote on Twitter, addressing O'Rourke,"I'll give you my gun when you pry it from my cold dead hands."
