•Abbott, Nugent campaign together as controversy overshadows stops
DALLAS –- A brief campaign stop in Denton this week has not created the kind of news coverage Greg Abbott's staff had likely hoped.
"Greg Abbott's only job this whole year is to not make any stupid mistakes, but this might be one and two," said Fort Worth Star-Telegram columnist Bud Kennedy.
Abbott appearing with Ted Nugent might be the first, Kennedy said, and not addressing it is the second.
Nugent admitted once having a relationship with a 17-year-old when he was 30, Kennedy said. The controversial conservative has used vulgar words describing feminists and Hillary Clinton and he called the president a "subhuman mongrel."
