Gov. Abbott rips Biden's 'reprehensible' attacks on Texas voting bill: He's 'willing to lie'

Gov. Abbott rips Biden's 'reprehensible' attacks on Texas voting bill: He's 'willing to lie' to 'get his way'

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Sunday slammed President Biden’s "completely reprehensible" attacks on the Republicans’ election integrity bill in his state, saying the president is "willing to lie" to the American people in order to further his political agenda.

During an appearance on Fox News’ "Sunday Morning Futures," the Republican governor told host Maria Bartiromo that Democrats are "flat-out lying" about what the GOP is doing in Texas, with the media echoing their claims.

"In Texas, we truly have made it easier to vote and harder to cheat," Abbott said. "The one thing that you pointed out that we are cracking down on is mail-in ballots," he continued, stating that a judge who was appointed by former President Barack Obama acknowledged that there voter fraud is a problem when it comes to mail-in ballots.

"We all have to agree that if there’s cheating in the election process, we need to stop that cheating, and the best way to stop that cheating is to tighten up restrictions concerning mail-in ballots," he added.

I will stipulate that invoking Jim Crow was, imho, perhaps a bit over-the-top on Biden's part.

I'm curious what that 'Obama' judge ... actually said. I would bet it was more along the lines of 'cheating is slightly more possible' as opposed to 'mail-in ballot cheating is an extant problem' as Abbott suggested.

Anyways, this coming from an ardent supporter of TFG, who lies literally every time he opens his mouth, and over 20,000 times as POTUS

I have to resist saying what I really think about Abbott. He makes Perry look good.
