Abbott, Nugent campaign together as controversy overshadows stops
"Greg Abbott's embrace of Ted Nugent and his ideals are an insult to every woman in Texas,” she said, “and it should be an insult to every man, husband, brother, father, son."
Abbott’s choice of a campaign guest left political observers wondering whether it was worth it.
"All the people who like Ted Nugent are already voting for Greg Abbott. This potentially hurts him. I don't see how it helps him," said Bud Kennedy, columnist for The Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
Still, Abbott and Nugent continued campaigning together at a second stop in Wichita Falls. Abbott plans to visit Tyler and Sugar Land on Wednesday. Nugent is not scheduled to join him.
