That photo of Abbott with the quote, "It could have been worse."
Under it a photo of Beto with an upbeat expression and the line, "It could have been a lot better, too."

"It could have been worse."

JFC, that's all he has to say? Beto O'Rourke should absolutely pillory Abbott for this.

Maybe that's why they need Fox News spoon-fed to them like baby food.

Actually it's the nothing he did that did so much.
By not taking steps to really solve the problem of gun violence, his non-action became a powerful empowering action for those people who use guns to kill or injure others.

Now his legacy is of conspiracy to facilitate criminal action. He is essentially an accessory to murder.

They’re the people who help keep him in power, and his power is all he cares about. He has ambitions to be president. May he rot in hell before that happens.
