A real leader would never look at Uvalde and still refuse to do everything in their power to keep it from happening again.
But Abbott refuses to act—just like after Santa Fe, Sutherland Springs, El Paso, Midland-Odessa, and so many other mass shootings.
It’s time for him to go.
The federal government gave Moderna $2.5 billion to develop a COVID-19 vaccine. Meanwhile, Moderna's CEO just walked away from the company with a $926 million golden parachute.
This is what oligarchy looks like.
Abbott banned abortion in cases of rape.
Abbott banned abortion in cases of incest.
Now, under his watch, Texas is fighting to ban abortion even in cases where a woman will die without one.
He's too extreme for Texas. We're voting him out.
I just spoke on the Senate floor because it should never be a crime to cross a state line in order to access reproductive health care. I asked my colleagues to pass our bill with Senator @CortezMasto and others to protect women from prosecution.
BREAKING: Ivanka Trump is historically humiliated as the Jan. 6 Committee plays video of her dishonest testimony — followed immediately by video of her chief of staff officially contradicting her. RT IF YOU THINK IT’S TIME TO INDICT IVANKA!
Abbott should have acted after the first, second, third, fourth, fifth major mass shooting to take our fellow Texans on his watch.
He refused.
He should have acted in the seven painful weeks since Uvalde.
He refused.
Let’s vote him out, take action, and save lives.
Just remember: almost every Republican didn’t want America to learn what we are learning. And no Republican leader has said they will not support Trump if he is the nominee. These are not patriots. These are men - and they are mostly men - who care about power, not their country.
Did you know? In 1861, 11 Senators and 3 Representatives were expelled from Congress for failing to recognize Lincoln’s election and supporting insurrection. — We can still do that.
BREAKING: Lindsey Graham just said he would fight a judge’s order for him to testify before a grand jury in Georgia: “We will be going to court to contest the subpoena…our lawyers are involved.”
I’m sick and tired of these politicians who think they’re above the law.
Abbott wants us to forget about Uvalde, move on, ask no more questions.
We won't. We demand accountability and action.
As governor, I'll do everything in my power to get to the bottom of what happened, bring justice to the families, and prevent this crisis from happening again.
