Most of you could never be convinced that Governor Greg Abbott has ever acted in the best interest of Texas and Texans. However, after his behavior this week, everyone should know that he only cares about playing politics.
The Smokehouse Creek Fire has now burned 1.1 million acres (at the time of writing this) and has thus far claimed two lives. Not only is this fire the largest in Texas history, but it is also the second-largest-ever fire in all of America.
You would think the Governor would be at a command center, giving press conferences, deploying the National Guard, and ordering additional resources to combat this unprecedented disaster. Instead, his response has been notably absent, highlighting a disconnect between his actions and the urgent needs of his constituents.
This fire started Monday. What has Abbott been up to since then?
