Gov. Greg Abbott held a press convention and claimed that Texas legislation enforcement officers misled him about their response to the Uvalde capturing.
Video of Abbott:
Abbott was requested about why he gave reporters inaccurate info at a earlier press convention and he stated:
Sure. I used to be misled. I’m furious about what occurred. I used to be on this very stage, two days in the past. And I used to be telling the general public, info that had been instructed to me in a room only a few yards behind what we’re proper now. I wrote down hand notes, intimately, about what all people in that room instructed me. In sequential order, about what occurred.Â
And after I got here out of right here on the stage and instructed the general public what occurred, it was a recitation of what folks in that room instructed me. Whether or not be legislation enforcement officers, or non-law enforcement officers, regardless of the case. Perhaps and as all people has realized, the data that I used to be given turned out, partially to be inaccurate.
 And I’m completely furious about that. And right here’s my expectation. My expectation is that the legislation enforcement leaders which might be main the investigations, which embody the Texas Rangers, and the FBI, they resolve each truth with absolute certainty.
The scenario in Texas is an entire mess. Legislation enforcement officers tried to recommend that trainer was in charge as a result of a door was left open. The Governor gave false info to the media, and he might or might not have been misled by his personal legislation enforcement officers.
The federal authorities must step in and deal with this investigation as a result of Greg Abbott clearly can’t lead.
Every press convention by Texas officers together with Gov. Abbott is a catastrophe that solely results in extra questions.
Greg Abbott tried to save lots of himself by throwing Texas legislation enforcement beneath the bus, because the scenario will get worse by the hour.
