Texas Governor Doesn't Want to Focus on Gun Deaths

On Monday’s edition of “Morning Joe,” host Joe Scarborough delivered a stinging commentary, calling out Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s “inhumane” comments after yet another mass shooting over the weekend. Scarborough pulled no punches, citing gun death statistics and our country’s grotesque child mortality rates. “Our little children are being slaughtered. And Greg Abbott has nothing to say about it. He just wants to change the subject.”

Scarborough torched Abbot for his reprehensible comments about the victims of an Ohio mass shooting, saying the Texas Governor was “cynically and cruelly focused on the immigration status of these poor people, and that little boy that were slaughtered…. Just inhumane."

The MSNBC host saved his most sobering indictment of Abbott until the end, saying, “There is a sickness in the state of Texas. And that sickness starts at the very top with Greg Abbott—who refuses to protect little children in the state of Texas. Whether it's at school or whether it's his church or whether it's at shopping malls or even inside their own homes.”

Today’s Republican party has a sickness and complete lack of humanity, something far too many Republican voters much too readily accept.
