Texas Gov. Greg Abbott didn’t answer a direct question posed by ABC News correspondent Martha Raddatz.
She prefaced the question by stating that President Biden never has said he favors “open borders.” The only people making that contention are Republican foes of the Democratic president. Gov. Abbott is one of them.
Is it the GOP mantra that is spawning the massive influx of migrants to our southern border? Raddatz asked Abbott that question directly, as it was broadcast this morning.
He didn’t answer it. He veered somewhere else with some rambling response about the chaos that will develop if a Donald Trump-era restriction is lifted.
C’mon, governor … aren’t Republican critics’ lies and demagoguery about an “open border” fueling this crisis?
