Texas Gov. Greg Abbott compared those asking who was to blame for the deadly flood in Kerr County last weekend to a losing football team.
During a press conference Tuesday afternoon in which Abbott said 110 people were confirmed dead and 161 were still missing, the Republican governor took issue with a reporter’s phrasing when he asked if there would be an investigation into “who is to blame,” as there was for the 2022 school shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
“Know this: that’s the word choice of losers,” replied Abbott. “Let me explain one thing about Texas, and that is Texas—every square inch of our state—cares about football.“
