He got a booster and monoclonal treatment even with no symptoms. He knows this is a dangerous virus.

[EleanorR]

He's afraid and has done all he can to protect his own life, but his actions make it more likely that children will die horrible deaths. Republicans are radical sociopaths willing to sacrifice our children for money and power.

1. It didn't used to be this way

Ike was the last good Republican

[joshdawg]

26. Heartily agree.

Have been saying for a long time Ike was the last decent republican President.

[cstanleytech]

28. Yup, they have been sliding for a long time but it really began back when they embraced the southern

Democrats in their quest to regain power.
That action really is what set them on this current Titanic like course more than anything else.

[uponit7771]

2. He's part of a dark force that's against what America is stated to stand for

[musette_sf]

15. He is just plain evil.

You have to be 100% evil to successfully receive a well-deserved payout for a grievous injury - then to advocate for tort reform as Texas AG so that no one ELSE so grievously injured can receive a fair settlement.

[Susan Calvin]

30. That's always the first thing I think about when I see him.

What a disgusting human being.

[alterfurz]

34. Abbott is the Poster Boy for the GQP Mantra...

..."I've got mine, fuck you!"

[iemanja]

3. Republicans purposely kill their own supporters

because they think it gives them some political advantage. This is evil.

[Cha]

41. And beyond Stupid.

4. No Faith In Doctor Don's Bleach Infusion & Sunlamp Suppository Treatment? nt

[Tree Lady]

5. He ordered more medical personnel from

Out of state then ordered mortuary trailers for the dead. He absolutely knows how dangerous it is and should be held accountable but never will be.

He made sure he was vaccinated, got his extra booster then expensive treatment once he was positive with no symptoms. That just says it all. Wow!

[IcyPeas]

6. NEW: Video message from Abbot...

14. No sense of shame at all. None. nt

[greenjar_01]

16. "I have no symptoms such as fever or aches and pains"

Do you have symptoms such as sore throat and shortness of breath?

Good Lord!

[Rabrrrrrr]

31. But you ARE showing symptoms like lack of a moral compass, disregard of reality, and assholery

at a truly pathological level.

So... congratulations?

[dlk]

7. Abbott is the poster boy for Republican, "I've got mine, to hell with you"

[Princess Turandot]

8. He was also getting tested *every day*..

He's quoted as saying that in the LBN article on this: https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142786613

Since he's a paraplegic, I believe that he's at a higher risk of complications with respiratory illnesses.

Such hypocrisy.

[TNNurse]

25. I do not think paralysis from the waist down

has anything to do with breathing....either he has some other malady which made him eligible for the booster or someone is lying.

40. Just lovely, isn't it.

[Ferrets are Cool]

11. Repuz voters love hypocrites. He should win in a landslide.

[Crunchy Frog]

12. But I thought that's what everybody does when they get a cold.

Just think of all the Kleenexes he might have had to go through otherwise.

[Warpy]

13. I'm really surprised he got the antibody infusion

I'd think doctors would have much better sense than to waste it on an asymptomatic person when so many other people need it so much more.

I'm sure the taxpayers of Texas are delighted to be footing the bill.

[NullTuples]

20. It's easy to forget many GOP voters would do the exact same

They see him as doing the right thing.
Getting ahead means getting better access to health care.
He's proof the GOP system works
etc etc blah blah blah....

[LeftInTX]

23. He's in a wheelchair....

That's the only thing I can think of......

Apparently, a few years ago, he was burned badly due to his paralysis while being in a bathtub that was too hot. It was all kept "hush-hush"...

So, maybe a doctor saw "the risk"..

Or who knows....

TFG instituted a contract where the treatments would be paid out U.S. taxpayer dollars -

What you need to know about the COVID-19 cocktail Trump is raving about

By Stephen Gandel

Updated on: October 9, 2020 / 5:07 PM / MoneyWatch

(snip)

In July (sic 2020), the company signed a contract with the government for $450 million to supply the treatment.

At the time, Regeneron said that under the contract it would produce enough doses to treat anywhere from 70,000 to 1.3 million cases of COVID-19, with a more exact number of patients to be treated based on the severity of their symptoms.

Regeneron has since said that it plans to supply enough doses to treat roughly 300,000 patients under its government contract. That comes out to a cost of about $1,500 per treatment. But if Regeneron's doses only end up treating 70,000 patients, that translates into $6,500 per treatment.

Still, the company said in a statement that if emergency authorization for REGN-COV2 is granted, under the terms of its contract with the U.S. "the government has committed to making these doses available to the American people at no cost, and [the government] would be responsible for their distribution."

38. Keeping this one.

[BumRushDaShow]

39. Yeah when I just found that yesterday

I bookmarked it because last year was such a shit show that all this other stuff was going on under the radar.

[calimary]

42. Shit show is a good description of it.

[bahboo]

17. shout this loud and often....

should be torches and pitchforks time for this fuck....

[OAITW r.2.0]

18. Happy to rec Republican Hypocrisy.

"do as I say, not as I do." Hope the typical Republican voters figure this out soon and stop voting against their personal interests....

[Deuxcents]

19. Deplorable

And so are those who support him.

[Jon King]

21. Abbott and Desantis are locked in a race to the bottom.

Never seen anything like it. They both want the 2024 MAGAt nomination. Its a no holds barred competition as to who can be the most wretched POS on earth.

[area51]

22. +1 n/t

[gulliver]

24. He's a covid chicken hawk like Trump

Cowardice while pushing risk and pain on others is a main plank in the Republican platform

[Rebl2]

29. Such an

evil man and party

[Dustlawyer]

32. Noted! But then again, we knew he was like this before.

[musclecar6]

33. Just

Another fucking republican jerk off.

[alterfurz]

35. May "Old Gregg" live on for many years to come!--

--or at least long enough to serve out consecutive prison sentences for gross dereliction of duty, reckless endangerment, and negligent homicide.

Just how big an asshole is Greg Abbott?--after receiving a huge settlement from his paralyzing accident, he later worked to "reform" TX law to drastically limit court-awarded personal injury payouts.
Greg Abbott: the kind of asshole other assholes look at and say, "Now THERE'S an asshole!"

[calimary]

37. Unfortunately this is merely the latest IGMFU update from the GOP.

Et tu, Greggie?

43. Money is made😱

They know it's deadly. Abbot just purchased trucks for the dead. It's economics. The vaccine is cheap. Monoclonal? Thousands/dose. Let's help big pharma out. Sicknese
