"The GOP is now a party of culture warfare and racism. They're willing to run rough shot over the law to score political points. That's what Abbott did here." @TimOBrien on Texas Governor Greg Abbott saying he intends to pardon a man who killed a Black Lives Matter protester.

I don't like politics. I just know whenever it's voting time I vote democratic. These Republicans like MTG,Greg Abbott,Boebert,Tim Scott Republicans are just the worst people.

The jury didn't "nullify" Tx self-defense law. It was so instructed but found no self-def & that the state had proved murder beyond a reasonable doubt. Abbott's nullifying double-think: Murder is self-defense when the right kind of killer murders the right kind of victim.

I cannot understate what this signals to the fascists: yup, killin' em is ok now--you'll get a pardon. It's called eliminationist rhetoric and it's used to precede genocides. These people are itchin' to kill all the rest of us.

Judge & jury sat thru the trial,listened to prosecution,defense, saw evidence,& arrived at a verdict. Abbott sees some tweets &decides he's deserving a pardon. Is he going to read the texts Perry sent about using stand your ground defense to shoot someone? Or other texts like it.
