Greg Abbott

Greg Abbott is more careful than Borbert, Greene, or Trump when he speaks. He still has that rotten character of Republicans, but he does focus loyally on his party's talking points. Recently, in the debates and rants about banning abortion access in Texas, he defended forcing victims of rape or incest to involuntarily carry a fetus to term. He made no accommodation and regurgitated the usual UNHELPFUL talking points:

"Let's make something very clear: Rape is a crime, and Texas will work tirelessly to make sure that we eliminate all rapists from the streets of Texas by aggressively going out and arresting them and prosecuting them and getting them off the streets."

-- Greg Abbott September, 2021

None of that helps a victim after the fact. It is similar to the "good guy with a gun" talking point pertaining to gun safety. It does nothing to remedy the harm to the first victims before responders do into action.

• 2024: Border Wall Claims
  In March 2024, while visiting a border wall construction site, Abbott claimed that the wall would prevent illegal immigration and drug trafficking. However, experts pointed out that the wall's effectiveness was questionable and that alternative solutions existed.
