Pointing fingers? Conservatives never take responsibility for anything.

Oversimplify these nuts. Texans are sick of seeing our neighbors die because this governor has failed — *again* — to do fuck all about the power grid, weather disaster mitigation, and turning the state into a shooting gallery #FUCKGREGABBOTT

Nope, this is a prime example of how the current administration doesn’t and will not take fault for ANYTHING. That’s called gaslighting and narcissism.
