Texas governor tries to shift blame for state's most expensive disaster

By Donna Provencher -February 25, 2021 5:30 PM

'It's almost like a murder suspect blaming their right hand for committing the crime.'

Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott has repeatedly tried to shift blame for last week's power and water outages that affected 4 million people in the state onto the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, the organization that operates Texas' electrical grid — but other Texas officials claim the state's own policies and failures are to blame for the crisis.

In a televised address Wednesday night, Abbott slammed ERCOT for its failures leading up to the disaster. "Many of you are angry — and you have a right to be," he said. "I'm angry too. At a time when essential services were needed the most, the system broke. You deserve answers. You will get those answers."

He noted that ERCOT had repeatedly assured him that it was prepared to face the winter storms; Abbott has already called for an investigation into its role in the statewide power outages.

1. Fuck _______. Insert virtually ANY republican name here.

Abbott—-it’s your turn in the barrel...turd.

2. I realize you're angry; well, I'm angry, too

We can argue back and forth all day long about who was governing the state and who's been in thrall to the energy companies and who only suggested but didn't require winterization measures and who broke the system and who died as a result and who fled the state during the crisis. But let's just say that everyone made a mistake somewhere along the line, blame Antifa, and move on.

3. These dolts are probably scouring Hillary's emails right now using ERCOT as a keyword.
