Gov. Greg Abbott, the Texas Republican, took to Twitter late Tuesday to blame President Biden for willfully spreading “misinformation” about the state GOP’s sweeping elections overhaul bill.
Biden, who was in Old City, Philadelphia, on Tuesday rebuked the bill in no uncertain terms. He said proponents of the election security measures are engaging in “21st century Jim Crow assault.”
Biden’s remarks came a day after Texas Democrats decamped for Washington in an effort to deny their GOP-controlled Legislature the necessary quorum to pass a bill placing new restrictions on voting in the state.
Abbott, who told Fox News the Democrats who fled the state face arrest upon their return, insisted that the bill in Texas is “making it EASIER to vote & harder to cheat”.
There seems to be no love lost between Abbott and the president. Abbott starts the video by recalling the time that Biden tied him to ‘Neanderthal thinking’ for ending mask mandates in the state. He said the president was wrong then and he is wrong again.
