Texas Governor Greg Abbott Jokes About Shooting Reporters

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) appears to be a pretty good shot ― and a horrible comedian.

A Texas Tribune reporter snapped a photo of Abbott showing off his target sheet on Friday, after which the governor “jokingly” pointed to the bullet holes and threatened the media.

“I’m gonna carry this around in case I see any reporters,” Abbott said, according to reporter Patrick Svitek.

If cops don't start brutalizing and killing journalists, you can be sure Trump supporters will.

It's a matter of time until we start seeing stories about it happening.

He's lacking all the essentials for being a decent human being. Which is what got him elected Governor of Texas.
