What a disgrace. @GregAbbott_TX would be cheering & gloating over an acquittal. Greg, you were a State Supreme Justice. You're supposed to be our Governor. But, you're playing the role of a Trump lackey who has surrendered all dignity to lick Trump's guccis.

This was a sham show trial. The Kangaroo Court will never stand on appeal. Americans deserve better than a sitting U.S. President weaponizing our justice system against a political opponent— all to win an election. We must FIRE Joe Biden in November.

Editorial from @chron may seem harsh, but it is subdued given the level of @GregAbbott_TX 's & @DanPatrick 's screw-up. What's lost is they've always been all bluster. Failing during real emergencies is the norm under Abbott, Patrick & 1-party R control.

Dirty little secret that @GregAbbott_TX won't share is that his immigrant shipments do nothing to slow immigrant entries into U.S. It's all self-promoting theater designed to cause problems, not solve them. Abbott is exploiting the problem, not fixing it.
