Lone Star Gov. Abbott fires back at Adams’ ‘madman’ blow: He ‘could not last a week in Texas’
NY Post ^ | 09/12/2023 | Isabel Keane

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ripped New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ claim that the Lone Star State governor is a “madman” for busing border crossers to the Big Apple — saying Hizzoner “could not last a week in Texas” handling its migrants.

New York City’s frustrated Democratic chief executive had warned during a town hall last week that the recent flood of asylum seekers into the Big Apple would “destroy New York City” — and called the Republican gov a “madman” for transporting thousands of migrants from his border state to liberal cities such as Gotham.

Abbott fired back on “Jesse Watters Primetime” on Monday that there are “so few” migrants in the Big Apple that it’s “outrageous [Adams] would make a comment like that.

Adams is planning on cutting a slew of programs and blaming it entirely on this move by Abbott. Any and all NYC problems henceforth are not of Adams’s making; that’s his game plan.

I have to admit, I thought Abbott’s buses might turn out to be an ineffective publicity stunt.
I am so GLAD to be wrong! It is wonderful to see all of the people who proclaimed “Migrants Welcome” are now screaming “Migrants, Go Away!”

Instead of bitching at Abbott, Mayor Dufus should level the tirade at Sleepy Joe to seal the border.

There is no reason to accept Adams saying the Governor of Texas is a “madman.” That was wrong.

“Vengeance is mine saith the Lord.”

Romans 12:19-20
19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.

Martha’s Vineyard, Rehoboth Beach, Wilmington DE, should all be receiving 10 busloads per day. Share the wealth.

I believe the Texans would say “Adams is all hat, no cattle.”

The Biden regime has been flying in migrants to NYC. Texas only sent 13,000. The rest of the 100K Biden sent.

called the Republican gov a “madman” for transporting thousands of migrants

I seriously doubt the number of illegals sent (by Abbott) north numbers in the thousands.

Wish he had but that would be a lot of buses.

“Adams is a air head”

Ain’t none of these guys perfect. He was on Clay and Buck a few minutes ago. Says the Biden open border policy is strong grounds for impeachment.

Let Adams blame Abott all he wants. The idiots in NYC are political illiterates. They won’t have a clue who Abott is but they can sure look around and see the third world filth destroying their city.

“Martha’s Vineyard”

About a year ago, DeSantis sent a couple planeload of illegal aliens to Martha’s Vineyard. They were on the ground less than two days before they were quietly moved off the island.
