Until Texas Observer senior staff writer and associate editor, Gus Bova found the words and said what many were feeling – that Governor Greg Abbott wasn't going to do anything to curb gun violence. Indeed, throughout his terms in office, the governor's own agenda has led to the proliferation of even more gun violence in Texas.
An excerpt from “Greg Abbott is Full of Shit, and Culpable,” by Gus Bova, published May 27, 2022, by the Texas Observer: “In moments like these, maddeningly frequent, what is it we expect from our political leaders? The answer varies according to partisanship. But, generally, we want a leader who feels what we feel, who tells the truth, and who plausibly promises policies to address the problem—the first being a salve for public wounds, the second a necessity for democracy, and the third the literal job description of those in power.
Proceeds support Texas Observer's mission to provide fearless independent journalism from the Lone Star State.
