Nugent calls Abbott 'my blood brother'

[TexasTowelie]

More from their meeting in Denton on Tuesday:

DENTON – Rocker Ted Nugent and Attorney General Greg Abbott, the presumed GOP nominee for governor, praised each other as fighters for freedom at a Tuesday campaign event.

-snip-

Nugent called Abbott "the epitome of what our founding fathers wanted as a representative of 'we the people,'" and said Abbott has an understanding of individual rights and has fought "the enemies of these freedoms." He introduced Abbott as "my friend" and "my blood brother."

Abbott called Nugent "a fighter for freedom in this country."

Asked about Nugent's past comments, Abbott repeatedly said that he was unaware of them, including a 2008 appearance on Fox News in which Nugent was asked if he would want to kill people who come illegally into this country.

[font color=green]We should feel grateful that Abbott has confirmed that he has head stuck in his (expletive) for years and has not read any social media during that time.

Greg Abbott--out of sight, out of mind and hopefully OUT OF OFFICE soon after the next election.[/font]

1. The details of the campaign rally with Nugent in Wichita Falls this evening were not available

since they were hidden behind a paywall in the Wichita Falls Times Record News. However, a news report from KAUZ indicates that the issues of border security and voter fraud were topics during that discussion:

Politifact ranks Abbott's claims about prosecuting 50 election frauds during his stint as AG as "half true".

Most of us are still wondering why Ted isn't in jail and why Ted isn't a man of his word.

7. Nice to see Abbott hanging out with a draft dodger and pedophile.

I hope Wendy Davis is smart in using this.

9. The Abbott campaign believes that it is far worse for Davis to be associated with Pres. Obama than

it is for him to be associated with Nugent. Abbott made statements yesterday indicating the he intends to exploit the relationship between Davis and the president as a negative for Davis if Democrats continue to make hay about team Abbott/Nugent.
