Texas governor deflects blame for flood deaths with football comparison
Greg Abbott gives bizarre football analogy when asked who is to blame for deaths in Texas floods
Texas Governor Greg Abbott used a football analogy to deflect questions about accountability for the over 100 deaths in the state’s recent floods.
During a press conference on Tuesday, Abbott criticized a reporter's question regarding who was to blame for the fatalities, labelling it the word choice of losers.
He said that successful teams and winners focus on finding solutions rather than assigning blame.
Abbott implied that focusing on blame is characteristic of losing teams, contrasting it with the approach of championship teams that aim to overcome challenges.
