Abbott demands Biden add cartels to terrorist list, but didn't squawk when Trump decided not to
WASHINGTON — Insisting that the administration is “standing by” as Mexican cartels terrorize South Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott has demanded that President Joe Biden add the crime groups to a list of terrorist organizations that includes al-Qaeda and the Islamic State.
“In November 2019, cartel gunmen fatally ambushed nine U.S. citizens, all women and children,” Abbott wrote to Biden, invoking that and other brutal attacks to justify the designation.
All of the attacks he cited took place when Donald Trump was president, and Abbott never publicly pressured Trump to designate the cartels as terrorist groups.
Nor did Abbott air any complaint when Trump, under pressure from Mexico, backed down from a threat to add cartels to the foreign terrorist group list.

the hypocrisy of making it Joe's 'issue' and giving IQ45 a pass is just so typical of the 'brain-dead' RepubliQans these days.
