The answer is yes, @texasdemocrats. They just don’t care.

@GregAbbott_TX was given a report last spring on how to open Texas safely. But his business buddies wanted to open everything at once, so Gregg fired folks who wrote safety report, threw it open knowing it would kill....

...and let 1000s died. Also, @texasdemocrats - @GregAbbott_TX knew that the communities with highest infection rates and death in Dallas were the minority and poor communities, so our leaders sent vaccines there first to save lives and slow the spread. But Greggs rich buddies...2

...wanted to go shopping, and certainly didn’t want to wait in line with folks down at Fair Park so, like a good Trumper, he used the vaccines to blackmail us. He told Dallas, @texasdemocrat, if we didn’t stop worrying about the poor and highest death minority communities....3

...that had highest threat, and the greatest spread (which he described as political correctness rather than the pure epidemiological dictate it was: you go where the spread is highest first) and instead direct more vaccine to the rich white neighborhoods...4

@texasdemocrats

...hed refuse to distribute vaccines to Dallas AT ALL. @GregAbbott_TX policy: “if you dont stop saving the most infected, where COVID is most out of control, and instead divert vaccines to my rich white friends, I will cut off Dallas vaccine supple COMPLETEly...
@texasdemocrats

...so of course, by giving Dallas the choice of letting all of its citizens get sick, or diverting vaccines away from the neighborhoods where spread was greatest and to his rich white friends, psychopath @GregAbbott_TX blackmailed our city into submission...
@texasdemocrats

...now, people are dying again, and what does psychopath @GregAbbott_TX do? Dedicate himself 24 hours a day saving those freezing to death, to establishing a statewide system of heating centers? No. He goes to his friends on Fox to lie in order to attack @AOC...
@texasdemocrats

...who LITERALLY has NOTHING to do with this. He may as well blame me because, as a Texan, I added demand to grid before everything fell apart. So, @GregAbbott_TX lied about COVID and killed 1000s to appease his business buddies, blackmailed Dallas...
@texasdemocrats

...to make sure vaccines were diverted from poor minority neigborhoods where COVID is most out of control and causing most deaths, and sent it instead to the wealthier white neighborhoods that have the means to protect ourselves but where there are too many who..
@texasdemocrats

...find acting safely to be inconvenient & want to safely go back to shopping at northpark, and then chose to lie about this disaster being caused by wind turbines, when the manager of the electric grid said he’s lying, and it’s gas pipelines, gas/coal/nuclear...
@texasdemocrats

...plants that weren’t winterized so as to boost profits of energy companies. Which probably is what led liar @GregAbbott_TX to call for investigation of the truth teller - the business managing the grid - because his contributors are mad they didn’t go along ...
@texasdemocrats

@texasdemocrats

...policies designed to help energy companies that fill his pockets with cash over the residents of Texas because blaming democrats and wind is much more appealing to him than actually confronting a problem that could easily return and kill more Texans...
@texasdemocrats

...I guess when you intentionally kill people to benefit corporate contributors, it’s pretty easy to kill more if it helps out more of them. And this is why @GregAbbott_TX is more of a sociopath than an incompetent. He knows what he is doing. He is a killer.
