Beto O'Rourke's claim that Gov. Greg Abbott 'killing the people of Texas' comes back to haunt him
Fox News
O’Rourke lambasted Abbott’s decision to pull back the Lone Star State mask mandate in March, calling it a "death warrant" and claiming that the governor was "killing the people of Texas" by nixing required face coverings.
The former congressman's words came back to bite him this week, though, when Texas reported zero new COVID-19 deaths in the state and the lowest rates of new cases and hospitalizations in months. Twitter users were not quick to forget O’Rourke's comment, with many conservatives blasting the former congressman for his comment.More Related News
