Texas Gov Low Energy Greg Abbott stayed at a fundraiser for hours even after learning about how bad the massacre at the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde was apparent, Dallas Morning News reports. This is in contrast to his previous claims that he only breezed by the MAGA money shindig at some donor’s house in Huntsville, Texas, saying he stopped in to “let people know that I could not stay, that I needed to go,” he actually stuck around for nearly 3 hours, per flight logs from another wealthy supporter’s private jet he’s been using to campaign for reelection.
That’s not even the worst part: Abbott was at a press conference in Abilene, Texas when he first received news of the school shooting. In a straight line, Uvalde is almost directly south of Abilene, roughly 225 miles by air. Meanwhile Huntsville is 276 miles southeast of Abilene and then 271 miles northeast of Uvalde. So a 223 mile direct flight became a 547 mile stopover for nearly 3 hours on the ground in Huntsville when he already fucking knew children had been murdered.
“Unlike Beto O’Rourke who took advantage of the tragedy in Uvalde by increasing his fundraising efforts and resorting to political stunts, Governor Abbott canceled all political activity, including fundraising,” said Abbott spokesworm Renae Eze about the pretty obvious implication that rich assholes are more important to Greg than the nearly two dozen mostly Mexican American children and teachers whose bodies were shredded by the bullets from a madman’s AR-15.
