Weasel of The Week: Greg Abbott

 "Those who fail to remember history are condemned to repeat it."--George Santayana.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott is being condemned because of another political stunt he pulled over Christmas weekend in a selfish effort to try to "own the libs".

"Oops, I did it again!"---Britney Spears.

Yes, he did it again. Abbott, showing absolutely no concern for his own constituents who are freezing in the wake of last week's bomb cyclone, sent three buses of migrants to the Naval Observatory in Washington, home to VP Kamala Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff. These people were attended to immediately upon arrival by some local not-for-profit groups who found them shelter and season-appropriate wardrobe. Abbott insists on pinning the blame for the current wave of migrants crossing into Texas on the Biden administration, but here's a newsflash, jackass. It's not Biden's fault. It's yours all the way around. You're scapegoating because, again, you're shirking responsibility, not only to migrants seeking asylum, but to your own citizens. 22 months after an ice storm caused massive blackouts, and shamed Timex Cruz into cutting short a vacation in Mexico, Texas is again dealing with a lack of electricity because Abbott's too lazy and cheap to fix the existing problem, due to his and the GOP's obsession with "owning the libs".

Farron Cousins breaks it down:

Screw the political points. When the people of Texas need him the most, Greg Abbott thumbs his nose at them, not realizing they're just as much at risk (hypothermia, frostbite, etc.) as the migrants he sent to Washington. The migrants are being shown compassion, kindness, and respect, where Abbott showed them none. To him, they're pawns in a political chess game he's doomed to lose. I'll bet Abbott like certain other GOPers, hasn't really read the Bible lately.

And he gets a set of Weasel ears this week. He may think he did something noble in this season of giving, but all he really did was pass the buck on responsibility. Again.
