Greg abbott lied until the mayor of new york city sent undeniable proof

[Beachnutt]

The mayor said he tried to contact abbott about coordinating shelter etc.. for the folks seeking asylum but abbott lied during the debate and said the mayor never contacted him.
The mayor then produced proof e mails.
Abbott is a lying scumbag

1. He was lying about Texas energy being cheaper than other states.

They don't even try.

[Old Crank]

10. Sorrybut

He wasn't.
Texas electricity is cheaper on average than the national average.

The average electric billnis higher.

11. I was thinking of this.

15. From the EIA. US Energy information administration

US average KwH was 15.5 cents in September

It was 13.5 cents for Texas.

Average bill is well above average. But average cost is lower.

Not an Abbott fan but he wasn't lying about that.

2. He is without a doubt a lying POS - and that doesn't even begin to describe his sorry ass.

3. If you can't handle being the governor of a border state such as Texas like an adult,

... maybe you shouldn't be the governor of a border state such as Texas.

Seriously. Each state comes with unique issues that other states don't have to deal with. Abbott clearly can't handle this issue in a humane or responsible manner.

Good post, renate.

[txwhitedove]

9. Agree totally.

[RainCaster]

24. Washington is a blue border state

We have our share of problems, mostly from shithole states sending us their homeless.

5. He's a Republican. His lips are moving.

Dollars to donuts he's lying.

[elias7]

18. Pretty much...

They are all so absolutely FOS; get the lie out there because that will stick, and they don’t mind being caught in the lie, because there are no longer any consequences by their own peers. No honor.

[Cha]

6. TY! nt

[NoMoreRepugs]

7. Even if the Deplorable voters know he lies about EVERYTHING they

DO NOT CARE.

There is zero hope of EVER getting these people into the real world - stop wasting energy. It’s futile.

[Beachnutt]

8. I honestly think we have enough blue folks to win

in Texas, the problem is getting them to go vote..

[Hotler]

12. Feds should wander down to Texas and start checking employers for undocument employees and

arrest the business owners instead of the employees.

[MichMan]

16. Would that mean anyone undocumented without a green card would be unemployed?

How would they be able to house and feed themselves and their families?

[Genki Hikari]

17. They'd be deported

So they'd have to find a job in Mexico.

[oldsoftie]

25. THAT would reduce it a LOT. Employers should pay HUGE fines if caught

You try to stop them from coming but nobody focuses on what attracts them; businesses that will illegally hire them

19. In the day of electronic emails etc., and the durability of electronic communications to last

literally forever, these sorts of lies by idiotic politicians such as this Texas governor goes far to damage their reputations when their lying is so easily spotted, and the lying is confirmed/verified online too.

No wonder blue states get so riled up when these political hacks such as the TX governor lie so openly and don't act as the adults in the room. I wouldn't wonder why no one wants to help those in red states, when their politicians won't grow up and lie through their teeth on anything and everything.

Remember, these scumbag FL and TX governors illegally shipped human beings across their state borders (including in one story, some who were American citizens (so kidnapping should be charged, a federal crime)).

Abbott should apologize. He won't, being the indecent human being that he is, in being a 'coyote' and illegally transporting human beings across state borders, not talking to New York state in advance (remember, you are dealing w/ human beings, you could at least have the decency to let the receiving party of these people know what's coming so they can be better prepared and don't take out your frustrations on NY state, and other northern states/blue states).

You are being ignorant, inhuman, and most of all, you're a monster in playing this game along w/ desantis.

20. abbott is a true lying, cowardly republican - putin's protege

[BobTheSubgenius]

21. If only Jade Helm hadn't taken over Texas.

What a glorious world it would be for Abbott.

[Stuart G]

22. That is what Republicans do. "Lie" They learned from Donald Trump & Richard Nixon..Is that right?

[Jakes Progress]

23. He is republican. He lies. His voters don' care.

Lying is the hallmark of a republican politician.
