Q: What do you make of people like Greg Abbott, who has said that California is the problem, not Texas… Newsom: Shockingly delusional. Look in the mirror, sir. You’re the one who initiated this. You coward. You couldn’t stand up to Donald Trump.

Why do MAGAS think they can do anything they want, but no one else can do the same thing? What's good for the goose, is good for the gander.
