Greg Abbott

He checks all the R boxes: racism, nativism, cruelty, gun nuttery.

*He sent three buses of migrants to DC and dropped them off in 18 degree weather on Christmas Eve.

That’s some Scrooge/Trump level of cruelty and nativism right there. In a sane world it would disqualify him for any office. In this world, it makes him ideally suited to be the nominee of the party of racism and cruelty.

*He wants to pardon the convicted murderer of a Black Lives Matter protester.

We are talking Sheriff Bull Connor/ White Hood level of unadulterated racism here.

*He exploited the tragic shooting of a family by referring to the killer and the victims as “illegal” immigrants. (Inaccurately in at least one case.)

A “twofer” — minimizing AR-15 deaths by an appeal to xenophobia.

These are all sociopathic acts. What does it say that Republicans embrace those who do them?

Adam Serwer has it exactly right that The Cruelty is the Point.
