  "Because I don't like them, I can do whatever I want."
context: The blatant psychological projection is fascinating.  What a sad example of leadership - Christian, conservative, or otherwise. >
  
  Every accusation is a confession with these people.  Are they aware of their shadow?  Do they tell themselves at night they are the righteous?  Or are they self aware enough and just don’t give  a fuck because of power? >
  
  Human trafficking is not a political statement. Shipping barefoot people into an East Coast winter is immoral if not criminal. >
  
  Reckless endangerment of children is a crime. We should go after that rat bastard. There were children on those buses. >
  
  They should arrest the bus drivers and go up the chain. If the people did not know where they were going or sent index false pretense it's kidnapping and human trafficing. >
  
  That’s what I’ve been screaming start with the bus driver getting $18 and hour and see how quick this dries up 
  They have a duty to report human trafficking don’t they??? >
  
  Lol, I'm sure they got a maga supporter to do the driving. >
  
  And Maga supporters may be dumb as bricks, but they're self serving enough to rat on the person above them. >
  
  It's disgusting how many people in my local Texas neighborhood are defending this. Shit like "Illegals cost us so much money! They have to be held accountable!" Accountable to l wanting a better life and to avoid drug cartels, sex traffickers, and an impotent corrupt government? Those damn barefoot freezing people are getting what they deserve? On fucking Christmas no less. Racism is alive and well in the south. >
  
  Hate and viciousness is part of their DNA. Texas is the a-hole of this country. >
  
  💯. I live here and there are some things I love about it, others I can't stand. It's a great place to start a business but the culture is dogshit. There is a lot of victim blaming going on everywhere and "freedom" is said to be a prime virtue here. What they really mean is freedom to own weaponry and be a white heterosexual Christian male. And the cops are something else entirely, some poor kid got shot for eating in his car in a McDs parking lot a while back. Black guy got shot and killed for riding a bike and looking like a suspect the cops were after. There is a shooting on the news literally every single morning in San Antonio, over the dumbest shit. >
  
  When Republicans get called out, they immediately play the victim card… and their base accepts it as gospel >
  
  It’s also about demonizing and dehumanizing people. It then becomes not that bad if you mistreat sub-humans. >
  
  "They aren't REALLY people, so lets get em!"
  -Every conservative in history, rallying people against other people for the sake of gaining power. >
  
  Funny that I say the same thing about the racist GOP. I consider racists to be only 3/5 of a person. >
  
  Oh the irony of this self-proclaimed Christian >
  
  Today's reading is from Matthew 25:
  35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
  37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
  40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ >
  
  This is the most Relevant verse. 
  Leviticus 19:33-34
  “When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.” >
  
  Thank you! >
  
  You're welcome. I keep that verse handy when so called Christians make comments approving of stunts like Abbott's. >
  
  It’s also such a true statement too.  Whether you believe in Jesus just historically or biblically or neither - you cannot deny these words fundamentally IMO
  thanks for posting >
  
  A lot of Christians I talk to use the ol "we are Christians, not Jews, so we don't follow the old testament." They get around a lot of stuff this way and will then cite something from the old testament. They are bananas. >
  
  As a biblical scholar once reminded me, “Without the Old there is no New testament. Jesus taught from the Torah as he was a rabbi.
  The practice of the true Faith of Christianity looks much different than what many practice. The people who abuse the helpless are not practicing Christ’s teaching. >
  
  I grew up in a fundamentalist household. I'd read the whole bible several times by the time I was \~15. I was reading study bibles with interlinear glosses, and learning Old Hebrew and Koine Greek, reading in the original languages and remarking on how bad the English translations were. I was seriously considering divinity school. Ultimately, I saw that the bible, while an important book, is not divine, but very very human. I may have just gone on to be a more "liberal" or educated christian, but I was exposed to other religions, and, ultimately, I now lack a sincere belief that Jesus was ever real, and I cannot believe in anything like Original Sin or the christian hell. I tried other religions, but am now a mostly-comfortable "spiritual" person. All that to say, one of the best arguments against almost any religion is its practitioners. And christianity is in one of the top spots in that regard. >
  
  You will get no argument from me. I realized long past I am not to worship idols be they people, books, money, ideas, power, etc. As I am much older now and facing my own mortality I do recognize the teachings of Jesus, if really practiced, would make this earth a much better place and we would not be dealing with many of the problems we face.
  Alas we do not. Anyone who follows Christ to get to “heaven” are motivated by fear not love of their fellows.
  This is a great test to apply to one’s life. 
  Anyone can love those close. A Christian is called to love their enemy. This is a cross and it is difficult. 
  I am certainly no model for the faith. I am broken and when smart call on help from God. >
  
  A 'Christian' dumping refugees onto the street on a record cold Christmas Eve is calling who a hypocrite? >
  
  I wouldn't be surprised if someone named "Jesus" was among the ones he dumped into the cold. >
  
  There is a thought in Christianity that this is the case, Christ was traveling with them. >
  
  I hope so >

  When the only defense for something awful you repeatedly do is to call a branch of the federal government hypocritical, you're probably the asshole... >
  
  Whether or not there are hypocrites in the White House has nothing whatsoever to do with Abbott's cruelty. He should be removed from office. >
  
  There’s no hypocrisy. It’s false equivalence. The Biden admin moves migrants safely for humanitarian reasons, not recklessly in stunts to increase Abbot’s chances in the 2024 primary. >
  
  Agree. My point is that even if the Biden was a hypocrite, it would not excuse Abbott's behavior. Abbott's statement is gaslighting and distraction at best. >
  
  Agreed. >
  
  They’re eating their own dog food if they think this is a political winner. Will excite the cruelest and most racist in the base but turn off everyone else. >
  
  I’m embarrassed to be Texan. >
  
  Honestly, you should be. Not to be too harsh, but what the hell good or redeeming qualities can be found within that state? Honestly asking. >
  
  Plenty of people simply can’t afford to leave, even if they wanted to. These kinds of political moves don’t effect the average Texan. Texas is a beautiful state. Friendly people, lower than average property values(property tax kills tho), and where your family is from. I left about 6 years ago and I still feel the call from home to move back. Its a great state, but extreme ideology is the death of all civilizations. And boy oh boy do we have it >
  
  (Not trying to be mean): Problems with Texas: 1) Hot as hell 2) [along the gulf coast] humid as hell and hurricanes 3) tornados in the panhandle 4) conservative governments 5) fake (and real) cowboys 6) recreational alcoholism [stories from midwestern friends about how there was nothing to do as kids but drink] 7) the desert 8) badly-run cities like Dallas and San Antonio. Heard mixed things about Houston. Austin seems well-liked. 9) Not known for national parks 10) not known for tourism or amusement parks. 10) The "friendly" people of Texas aren't really all that friendly or there wouldn't be so many conservatives there. It's that toxic Southern "bless your heart" friendliness. Texas honestly seems (from the vantage point of the West Coast] to be a mistake in the middle of nowhere that somehow has too many people. If Texans object to that, they are welcome to clean up their act, but they never do. Here's a joke a Texan friend (now a transplant to Oregon) told me:
  Q: How do you know someone is from Texas?
  A: Don't worry; they'll tell you.
  Comparing Texas to its nearest rivals, California and New York, it's no contest. Texas is the worst. And, people are clearly leaving Texas. Anecdotally, I live in Oregon, and, in the last year, I have seen a complete surge of Texas plates moving in. There's over ten of them in my complex alone. Maybe they're the lucky ones who got out. But, honestly, if they're bringing Texas with them, then I'd rather they go back. We don't need to add their infection to Oregon. We have our own idiot problem here, especially in the east and south of the state, in areas like Bend, Malheur, and the Eugene area. Perhaps this is all too harsh, but I am sick and tired of bigotry and idiocy being excused. I honestly don't see why we can't quarantine the dumb away.  This is just my opinion, and, it may be bad. But hey, a state full of bad opinions doesn't seem to matter, so why should my wee opinion? Cheers! >
  
  Abbot needs to be arrested and in jail already. I don't give a fuck if Texas throws a hissy fit, you can't play with peoples lives as political pawns. >
  
  
  Abbot needs to be arrested and in jail already.
  
  Yea sure AG Ken Paxton is on the case >
  
  this has to qualify as a federal crime >
  
  And… which party has been calling for comprehensive immigration reform and which one refuses because the crisis at the border works so beautifully for election time? >
  
  Where can I read more on this? I don’t seem to be finding anything useful, but would love a comeback to give my shitty family members. >
  
  dropping migrants in freezing cold on Christmas eve.
  Jesus would not approve.  No room at the inn. >
  
  Oh the irony if the 2nd coming of Jesus was on that bus. That’s just the way the Bible would write that up. 
  Young unwed girl. Coming to the promise land, pregnant seeking asylum. Her and her partner get shipped off and thrown out into the cold with no where to go… all because the leader was afraid of them. >
  
  Make the movie!! >
  
  He flopped from showing that Christian love to showing that Christian martyrdom in seconds. Impressive. >
  
  “They’re hypocrites!” Screams the self proclaimed Christian as he dumps helpless people out into the cold during a deadly weather crisis >
  
  On Christmas Eve >
  
  And the people who he trafficked are most likely Christians, too. >
  
  The white house gave them shelter, dumbass. Like you're supposed to be doing with the money they sent u to do exactly that with. >
  
  Abbott told migrants there was no room at the inn on Christmas Eve. He is now officially a biblical villain. >
  
  Yeah, sure proved them hypocrites.
  The whole looking after the needy during Christmas and even not during Christmas
  The gall of these people. >

  "We had people who were just in T-shirts, no long sleeves, no jackets," Tristàn, who was on site to welcome the busload to D.C., continued. "We even had some migrants that didn't even have shoes on them so it really was a horrific night for these people to just be dumped on the side of the road."
  
  I think I know who the hypocrites are. >
  
  They're people, Greg, not pawns in your political games. smh >
  
  Abbott is attempting to create an equivalency between planned transports of migrants to locations where they have support systems and dropping them off unannounced, in the middle of freezing temperatures, on the street, at a location intended solely in an attempt to embarrass the Biden administration. 
  Bullshit. >
  
  And the GOP is loaded with a bunch of felons.  Or, at the very least, very bad actors that have no business in public service. >
  
  Prosecute that scumbag for trafficking and kidnapping. >
  
  
  The White House is full of a bunch of hypocrites, led by the Hypocrite-in-Chief who has been flying planeloads of migrants across the country and oftentimes in the cover of night," the governor's office said in a statement to KHOU
  
  It bares repeating, as Abbott and his supporters continually gloss over this critical point, no one is taking issue with bussing itself, but how the Abbott Administration has executed the program.  Relocating immigrants is a routine function within the INS/USCIS and has been for decades.  The federal government coordinates with local government agencies and NGOs to ensure a smooth and safe transition for all parties.
  The Abbott Administration has refused to work with anyone on relocation efforts and has even attempted to undermine the Biden Admin's bussing program within Texas.  Greg is endangering human lives in a political stunt, which is why people are, rightfully, upset.  His accusations of hypocrisy are entirely unfounded.
  
  "These migrants willingly chose to go to Washington, D.C., having signed a voluntary consent waiver available in multiple languages upon boarding that they agreed on the destination," Abbott's office continued.
  
  This is called victim-blaming, a common feature of pathological abusers.  It belies the true intentions.  For Greg Abbott, the Texas GOP, and other fascists, the cruelty is the point. >
  
  
  Relocating immigrants is a routine function within the INS/USCIS and has been for decades.  The federal government coordinates with local government agencies and NGOs to ensure a smooth and safe transition for all parties.
  
  This is what I was looking for. Though I wonder why is Texas or any state involved in this at all? The entire operation should be run by the feds from the gate to their final placement. >
  
  It's ridiculous.  Abbott is criticizing the federal government "for not doing their job" out one side of his mouth and blaming them for doing their job out the other. >
  
  All I know is that the universe already tried to take Abbott out once - he’s playing with fire! >
  
  This statement proves how far gone mentally he is >
  
  Lol, "it is some body elses fault that I am a piece of shit" >
  
  Abbott needed a distraction from the shitty job he’s done to fuck over Texans during a severe winter storm. >
  
  Since the WH is a bunch of hypocrites that makes it okay to use human beings as political pawns and endanger their lives by dropping them off in record setting low temperatures.

  Maybe stop bussing people around and fix the power grid… >
  
  
  Is Christian
  Is literally named Abbott
  Is casting a group of desperate migrants out onto the street
  
  We're short a manger and a pregnant woman for this to be poetic. >
  
  A ‘Christian’ lacking any Christian values.  A governor who is committing human trafficking and violating the civil rights of these people.  A cruel, hollow man.  Meet Gregg Abbot (whom Texas recently re-elected) >
  
  And so is the Texas Capital and Governor's Mansion... >
  
  Did he do this with the last administration? If not he’s a hypocrite. >
  
  Can we drop off kids from foster homes in states that voted against abortion? >
  
  Even if they are hypocrites… why does that make it okay for you to commit a crime, Abbott? >
  
  Abbott is supposedly Catholic. The Pope should have a talk with him re excommunication. >
  
  These people are not Christians. They do not live by the teaching of The Christ at all. >
  
  Pretty sure it's a felony to move undocumented people across state lines.
  ANYONE, whoever, that is doing this is breaking the law. >
  
  Would this WH do something so breathlessly cruel on Christmas?
  Nope. Only the last one would. >
  
  Takes one to know one, Greg. >
  
  The guy who calls himself a Christian has no right to accuse others of hypocrisy after leaving migrants to freeze to death >

  What in the world does the White House have to do with Abbotts choice to human traffic these folks ? >
  
  I'm appaled every day that anyone supports Abbott.
  I'd be in favor of them driving to the Texas governor's mansion and dragging him off to jail immediately.  What a disgusting hate filled man. >
  
  He’s a POS treating human beings like this. Having said that, they are probably  being treated better here then they would have been there in Texas🫤 >
  
  What a load of shit. The white house never moved human beings maliciously without regard for their wellbeing once they got there. >
  
  Abbot said abortion would  be banned in Texas and that he would stop all rapes and sexual assaults. Has he stopped all rapes yet? >
  
  If they're never reported, they don't exist, right?
  /s should be obvious, but these days, you never know... >
  
  We all know this, but it’s worth pointing out that none of these right-wing politicians are serious about solving the underlying problems that have created the current crisis at the southern border. This is more attention-seeking behaviour because of their own self-interest or desire to make the press. 
  It’s not in the best interests of the migrants, the taxpayers or the politicians to be sending them to NYC, DC, Chicago or other big cities with no resources for those who are already there. Texas is a day or two drive to the most remote, unused, cheap land in the country with Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, North & South Dakota etc. there’s no reason at all why those states can’t set aside part of the federal money they would be getting to help assist in this? In return they’d be getting a young workforce who is traditionally better educated and very willing to work hard. 
  I don’t see the problem. The right-wing politicians are making migrants and asylum seekers to be these undesirable people who won’t do anything once they get here and that’s definitely not true. >
  
  If the Christian God is real for these people, they are in for one Hell of a surprise. >
  
  Fucking asshole >
  
  This just in: 
  It’s okay to traffic humans if someone else says something you don’t like. >
  
  The country is made up of immigrants ass hat. Show some respect. Until then you deserve none. Sit down. >
  
  I mean, he sort of has a point because if the current administration was truly about maintaining our current set of laws, Abbot would have already been arrested by Federal Agents for human trafficking. >
  
  If Republicans truly wanted to stop illegal immigration they would stop it at the source: the hiring of illegals under the table. But they get filthy rich from exploiting these workers so they put all the blame on the poor people and democrats which does absolutely nothing to stop illegal immigration >
  
  Ans he had no compassion for these poor people and their families on Christmas Eve.   Just like the inn keeper that turned way Joseph and Mary .    And I bet he calls himself a Christian?  Hahaha >
  
  Really hope the DOJ is getting a case ready against these fucks. Legit human trafficking >
  
  Charge these pricks with trafficking. >
  
  Man way to use your position of influence to affect actual change against the hypocrisy in the White House, Abbot! Oh wait... >
  
  What an asshole... >
  
  Texas needs more stairs >
  
  We need to crowdfund someone with the all-consuming goal of tipping Greg Abbot over. >
  
  Alanis Morrissette would like a word with you Mr. Abbott. >
  
  Republicans hurting people who cannot fight back to make their political points…and Abbott has the gall to question the ethics of the other team?  The lack of self-awareness and introspection is amazing (and disgusting). >
  
  If Abbott gave half a fuck about these human beings, he’d coordinate with sanctuary states instead of deceiving them to score political points with racist mouth breathers. >
  
  Can we charge him yet? >
  
  That would require Merrick Garland to do something other than sit in his office and collect his paycheck. >
  
  Well don’t want to disrupt the status quo >
  
  christian hypocrite accuses others of hypocrisy... >
  
  Hey Texas, need a power grid? Nah, he spent $12 million dollars on other stuff. Sleep in the cold. >
  
  really? where has the WH shipped migrants that endangered their lives? >
  
  One can argue Christian’s sure give the White House a run for that hypocrite title. >
  
  No hypocrites in the gqp - hateful insensitive anti-family misogynist fascist bigots and proud the world knows it. >
  
  Migrants are PEOPLE.  
  WTF. Where are the Christians.  Don’t they defend the treatment of Jesus’ children.  
  Or are migrant people available for abuse. >
  
  Apparently the church Abbott goes to only cares about Christians like him. Doesn’t apply to others. >
  
  Abbott is a disgusting human being. >
  
  "The Whitehouse is full of hypocrites so that makes it ok to traffic people." -Asshole Abbott. 
  Can a tree just finish the job? >
  
  Thank you to the entities that gave these people shelter. >
  
  Abbott also said the grid would hold again..it didnt...... >
  
  Sounds like he just claimed responsibility for a terrorist attack.  He should be arrested immediately.  DoJ needs no further evidence. >
  
  “And the Texas White House is full of racist assholes” he added >
  
  What an evil, evil man. Shameful. Fake Christian. >
  
  I think Los Angeles and New York City should ship their prisoners to Texas. >
  
  Should we ship them school shooters to show who is the real hypocrite about policy! >
  
  And the Texas Governors Mansion is devoid of Christians. >
  
  Did I miss something? Did the White House leave a bunch of people to fend for themselves in freezing weather?
  No… that was also Greg Abbott putting utility company profits over people’s lives. >
  
  Greg Abbot is a terrorist >
  
  Texans elected this ‘man’. Conservatives are vile. >
  
  So Biden getting unaccompanied minors who crossed the border to their families, sponsors, or specific residential facilities IS THE SAME as randomly tricking barefoot migrants into buses bound for the middle of DC with literally no plan for what to do with them.
  Is this really how Republican brains work? >
  
  In a racist's deranged imagination, liberals are just as upset at seeing brown people in their neighborhood as they are. and they imagine how upset the liberals must be, because they must secretly be as racist as they are. "This'll teach those liberals who secretly hate immigrants as much as we do!"
  This 'hypocrite' thing is entirely in their own heads. Of course people are upset about intentional GOP cruelty, it has nothing to do with the racism Republicans are certain others must feel. These folks are welcome as victims of GOP human trafficking. I support giving them Visas over their experience as crime victims, and I'm embarrassed my countrymen are racist assholes.
  Edit: Just to clarify, yes I would open my home to immigrant victims of GOP human trafficking rings, especially given they were enticed over to make some stupid racist point. I would also demand the FBI investigate and prosecute the rings responsible, and sponsor any of the victims to stay. >
  
  Remember when Obama wanted to make comprehensive immigration reform the hallmark of  his second term and McConnell said "Hell, No"?  I do.  Republicans don't want to fix our immigration system because it works so beautifully to keep their base terrified of the southern border (no calls for a wall at the northern border... why is that? Hmm?) and voting R. >
  
  “Someone somewhere might be doing something bad, therefore the thing I actually did is okay!” >
  
  Let's assume that the white house is full of a bunch of evil hypocrits.  
  THAT DOESNT EXCUSE OR JUSTIFY HIS ACTIONS.  
  It's not a defense. >
  
  Ironic, as Abbott pulls stunts like this while claiming to be “Christian”. >
  
  Abbott has to be a hypocrite and a liar, otherwise they'll take his GOP membership away. >
  
  He was wrong, but will never admit it. Not only was it wrong, but was also very dangerous. He claims to be a Christian, but actions speak louder than words. I’m a Catholic school teacher and can confirm that what he did is the exact opposite of what our faith teaches. Sadly, I’m not surprised. Nothing from Abbott or DeSantis surprised me anymore. >
  
  abbot is an absolute turd >
  
  Texas governor mansion is full of sadistic freaks who get off on human trafficking & cocaine orgies. >
  
  ...so let's fight that hypocrisy by freezing some kids. >
  
  Abbot makes a statement that the "White House is full of a bunch of hypocrites". Okay? What exactly are they being hypocritical about? This is so typical of him and his "side". Let's make a broad, sweeping statement, with no specifics, and their idiot followers just blindly believe them. Reminds me of "many people" and "people tell me". >
  
  Abbott defends human trafficking stunt** We need to call it what it is. >
  
  Hey Texans, you've had more power outages in the last 20 years than any other state in the union. 
  You are being sold a lie about rugged individualism. What Abbott and his dysfunctional cabal are giving you is an excuse to not do their jobs. Your water is filthy, your lands are polluted, your schools are atrocious, and your neighbors are freezing to death. Wake up and send these malcontents packing. >
  
  Im 57 young, been voting blue since the age of 18..
  I am trying...but Texas is gerrymandered, and I belive dark money has funded these crooks jmo >
  
  Hi pot, name’s kettle, have we met? >
  
  The Human Trafficker says what? >
  
  Republicansare incapable of explaining their actions without using the wordsDemocrats, liberals and/or the left/leftists. Instead of owning up totheir own or a member of their party's behavior they simply indictDemocrats in an attempt to normalize their behavior. >
  
  There're lots of hypocrites out there, Greg; that doesn't mean you can just ship them literal humans. >
  
  How is this not human trafficking? >
  
  Fuck Greg Abbott. And if you are a Christian and are excited about reading this. You are part of the problem. >
  
  These fuckin dipshits don't understand that we're not upset about where they're being trafficked. It's how and why and that it's being done at all.
  Most of these migrants have family in the States, and trucking them all over the country destroys any chance they have to land on their feet. >
  
  I think trump is a hypocrite and an asshole but that doesnt give me the right to be cruel to people either. I dont get how christians can be ok with this >
  
  This physically challenged person doesn't have any compassion. >
  
  It doesn’t matter. They still voted him in for another term. It plays to their base. Whatever Texas. >
  
  So he finally admitted it, the bastard >
  
  Talk about hypocrites … This POS calls himself a Christian >
  
  It's the GOP equivalent of "I'm rubber and you're glue, what bounces off me sticks to you". Every single time they get called out on ethics, accountability, lies, and illegal behavior they turn around and say "but Democrats..." as a justification. >
  
  Abbott is an impotent fool. Texas would do well to deport him. >
  
  Instead of finding them a safe place to stay in the interim, abbott left them high and dry in a climate where they can succumb to the elements. Which democrat is doing this to human beings? Where is the hypocrisy? We’re not angry that there are migrants in our towns, we’re angry at how inhumane people like Abbott and Desantis are treating them. >
  
  He says this is a Biden made problem. I wonder who they would blame if Trump were still in charge. I mean, it's not like immigrants plan around who is president. I'm sure it would still be democrats, probably spending their own money to move people from other countries here, because votes or something. >
  
  So Abbott is mad at liberal lawmakers in the White House. With all the supposed "powers" that he holds, resources and people thinking for him, he decides to throw a group of migrants under the bus, or should I say "in the bus" as revenge. 
  Well you probably can't expect any better from a guy who turns his back on his OWN constituents (winter power grid failure year 2.)
  Mentioning the power grid just in case Abbott is using the migrants to distract attention from the power grid. >
  
  ...says the Family Values politcian that just put the lives of numerous families, including small children, at risk as a (copycat) political stunt. >
  
  Abbott, who could show empathy and heart, instead makes a political statement with people’s lives in a bid for what I assume will be higher office in the future. How very pro-life of another Christian Fascist. >
  
  That was awfully nice of him to do that. I mean, they're having problems keeping the electricity on in Texas so I'm glad he found a safer place for them to stay /s - ish. >
  
  ya when that traitor trump was in there, sure >
  
  I keep seeing comments from people defending Abbot's actions. 
  How? How can a sane person believe that dropping people off, at night, in freezing temperatures is the right way to handle this situation? 
  Like it or not, these people are following the law; they are doing exactly what we've asked of them. Yet, this is how they get treated by a cruel Republican Governor!? >
  
  Where do you see people defending this? Even people who are still Republicans have told me that they found it pretty appalling >
  
  I don't think you are looking very hard. Just saw this and have several DMs stating that these people got exactly what they deserve. It is disgusting. >
  
  The white house responds with a swift "nuh uh" 
  Your move,, Abbott. >
  
  Wtf is wrong with that bastard >
  
  It’s just the way he rolls. >
  
  The word is out in central America....Greg Abbot will help move illegals further into the U.S on his constituants own dime. >
  
  It shouldn’t matter if he doesn’t like who’s in the White House, people are not political tools to be used like this. >
  
  Abbott is a vile human. He doesn't care if the migrants freeze when dumped on the street during extreme low temps. Hell, he doesn't even care if Texans freeze due to grid issues. Can't believe he won. >
  
  Republican calling someone else a hypocrite. >
  
  “Hypocrites”?  The Governor keeps using that word. I do not think it means what he thinks it means. Seriously, what is he trying to say, or is he just throwing an insult back? >
  
  How so Greg? They are doing exactly what they said they would do. Where you claim to be a christian, but dumping refugees unaided halfway across the country with no lifeline, with no concept of the irony of doing that on xmas eve. You utter jackass. >
  
  What an idiot; spend that money on the Texas power grid not political stunts that make you look like an asshole. >
  
  They’re hypocrites so we’re going to punish them by punishing impoverished immigrants because they’re subhuman for wanting a semblance of a better life. Anyway, gonna head to church now! >
  
  Says the Christian governor who dropped people off  into a blizzard on Christmas Eve.
