Abbott: 'Livid' About Being 'Misled' on Uvalde Shooting

O'Rourke has to be dancing with joy

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott claims he was “misled” and given “inaccurate information” on law enforcement’s response to the mass shooting at an Uvalde elementary school. 

"Earlier this week, Abbott praised police for the quick response, but after learning it took them more than 40 minutes to get inside the classroom as parents desperately begged for them to intervene, Abbott said he is “livid” at what happened. 

"During a press conference, the governor said “I was on this very stage two days ago, and I was telling the public information that had been told to me [by law enforcement]…as everybody has learned, the information I was given turned out in part to be inaccurate. I was absolutely livid about that.”

"He continued to say the situation is under investigation by the FBI and the Texas Rangers to get to the “bottom of every fact with absolute certainty.” 

“ 'My expectation is that as we speak and in every minute going forward, law enforcement is going to earn the trust of the public by doing exactly what they’re supposed to do from this point on.” . . .
