The REAL TARGET is Ken Paxton, who’s running for Senate next year. But since Paxton has nothing to do with flood warnings (he’s currently Attorney General here), they figure they’ll try to tar him by association >> “Texas Republican leaders caused this mess, Paxton is a Texas Republican leader”.
As to river warnings, I can see people having ‘warning fatigue’, since we seem to get an Amber Alert every time a parent forgets to pick up their kid at daycare, and get a Tornado Warning every time a tree branch moves, so they do need to work out a balance here.
Yup you are right about Ken Paxton. Yesterday’s tv emergency round news conference from Gov Abbott and all his colleagues had Bondi sitting on the Gov right side and John Cornyn on his left, front row.
I about got sick -never saw Cornyn front and center for any other TX emergency conference. He was first to speak after Gov and Bondi. No sign of Cruz or AG Paxton-probably not asked or notified to come.
