Dallas GOP convention: chants of violence as Democrats are named from the stage

At a Dallas Republican midterm convention, audience members repeatedly shouted ‘He should be shot!’ as Ted Cruz named Democratic candidates Zohran Mamdani, Abdul El-Sayed, and James Talarico, with Cruz not addressing the chants. El-Sayed urged Republicans to condemn the incitement and return to civil, issue-focused dialogue, while a Rogers aide condemned political violence. The event was tied to the first anniversary of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk’s assassination, and polls show El-Sayed leading Rogers in Michigan’s open Senate race.
