If you can stomach it, Abbott is speaking -- in Uvalde.

[AngryOldDem]

Anonymous donor paying for funerals…first takeaway.

NOW they provide mental health care.

[BlackSkimmer]

1. I just can't. The other one, where he didn't bother to show, made me sick.

They're flailing, trying to find a way out of this.

[XanaDUer2]

15. He sounds nervous to me nt

[BlackSkimmer]

17. A friend of mine is texting me about it. I'll have to ask her.

So far she's not impressed. He should be nervous!

The guy is scum.

[Cattledog]

2. Blood money

[AngryOldDem]

5. My very thought.

[scarletlib]

11. True. Trying to cover his ass & save his re-election.

[Raven123]

3. Unbelievable. Opens by talking about donation opportunities

[Raven123]

7. Where do the families go to get their children back?

[BlackSkimmer]

20. Wow, perfectly said.

These people are soulless.

[Bristlecone]

22. No kidding

[AngryOldDem]

9. Why should this presser be any different?

I sense not one drop of emotion or sympathy in this man.

This is all just the cost of doing business in a state that worships guns.

[Raven123]

12. Me neither. Absolutely tone deaf to the agony of lost life

[LiberalFighter]

4. So he wants others to pay for the funerals

Instead of the state of texas.

[EndlessWire]

24. Bingo. n/t

[lisa58]

6. Watching- acting like a human being that understands...

That people need assistance…who is his pr person?

[tulipsandroses]

8. Nope. TV is on mute. Same thing I used to do when drump was on

Will unmute when he shuts up

[Raven123]

10. Acts like this is a hurricane disaster

[LiberalFighter]

13. Uvalde's mayor is a scumbag.

[AngryOldDem]

14. Services open until June 1?

Did I hear this right?

I’m out. This is just fucking cold-blooded.

[XanaDUer2]

16. Omg I missed that nt

[JoanofArgh]

21. I missed this too. WTF? In other words, he's willing to pay blood money but only for a couple days.

[AngryOldDem]

25. This was in the DA's remarks about various social services.

Regardless, this help will be needed long after June 1, and typically the assistance is there as long as the need is. You don’t pull it barely a week later.

Again, I may have misheard. These people talk so fast and so robotically, which is probably on purpose. I really don’t sense anybody gives a true damn, other than about the inconvenience this has caused them.

[AngryOldDem]

27. Was that just the Democratic state senator who broke down on MSNBC earlier?

Another Beto moment.

This is what we need. Hammer home these questions everytime they show their faces.

EDIT — it was, Nicolle just confirmed.

[walkingman]

18. Anyone voting for that POS is a moron.

[JoanofArgh]

19. He's trying to buy them off. Not one word about what actions he's willing

to take to make sure this never happens again. And why does a town that's almost 80% Hispanic have some old white guy as Mayor?

[XanaDUer2]

23. GO NICHOLLE NT!

[IcyPeas]

26. ITS THE AR-15'S STUPID

[AngryOldDem]

28. Annnd....he's done.

Comment from the audience: “Unbelievable.”

It sure is.

[crickets]

29. Video for those who didn't see it live. If you can stand it...
