Why isn't the media and the left going after Abbott who just signed a bill banning surgeries in trans people under 18 like they are DeSantis? Could it be because DeSantis is running for PResident?

Let’s be honest here

The media is democrat's lapdog and Abbot isn’t running for President

Abbott is not running for President. But you knew that already.

The MSM does not care about issues. They don't write about FL laws; they write about DeSantis' laws.

The media goes where the clickbait lives. DeSantis and Trump are their current fantasy competition being touted in order to increase ad revenues, even though neither one of them is a viable candidate.

Nobody anywhere really gives a tinker’s damn what goes on with Abbott down in Mexican Mordor.

I'll say it. Everyone, including the media, are a little more hesitant to stick it to a guy in a wheelchair.

IMO the world knows Texas is controlled by people who are to the right of Trump.

Gerrymandering completes the picture.

Until the Ds start voting, what's the point? The 45ish % of Texans who don't like it can lump it. The leadership of the state and county D party are brain dead and have been for years.

He’s not running for President and he’s not up for election until 2026.

Going after him is useless right now.
