    Guess who Uvalde voted in during the gubnatorial race in 2022? Fucking Greg “It Could Have Been Worse” Abbott

    It doesn’t even matter if you WERE there for the shooting. I was honestly baffled that he took that county. The majority of adults in that community really came together and went “Yup. Abbott is clearly working!” Ugh.

      Abbott didn’t order them to sit and wait. From what I’ve read it was the local people, sheriff or whoever, that was in charge on scene keeping them back until a couple CBP agents had enough and went in.

      I think he resigned, so they can’t vote him out.

        Oh, I’m aware Greg Abbotts office didn’t call down to Uvalde and be like “Stand down lmao, don’t go in there. Wait it out.”

        His response was gross. He was callous. And he’s since refused to acknowledge that cracking down on guns in his state may be necessary.

        I expected him to win because this state is back asswards, I just didn’t expect him to win that particular county.
