Texas Governor Greg Abbott had a lot to say when asked a question about “blame” during a Tuesday afternoon press conference in the aftermath of the flash floods that killed more than 100 people over the July Fourth weekend.
Abbott firmly told a reporter: “You asked and I’m going to use your words, ‘Who’s to blame?’ Know this, that’s the word choice of losers.”
He continued, in part: “Let me explain one thing about Texas.”
He then starts to bring up football at a time when families are in pain from losing a loved one.
Every square inch of our state cares about football. Every football team makes mistakes. The losing teams are the ones who try to point out who is to blame. The championship teams are the ones who say don’t worry about it, we got this.”
Greg Abbott just stood in front of the press, after over 100 Texans died in flooding, and said asking “Who’s to blame?” is the “word choice of losers.”
Then he compared it to football.
No, seriously.

Since Friday’s devastating floods, there have been multiple attempts to point the finger at someone or an agency that could’ve prevented this tragedy from happening.
Greg Abbott, Donald Trump, and the lack of staffing at the National Weather Service (NWS) due to the Trump administration cuts have been blamed.
The governor’s words would come out better if he hadn’t repeatedly blamed former President Joe Biden and the Democratic Party for issues at the southwest border.
For now, the most important thing is finding the bodies of the missing people and giving families time to grieve.
More than 160 people are still believed to be missing in Texas days after flash floods killed over 100 people during the July Fourth weekend, Greg Abbott revealed.
Those reported missing are in Kerr County, where most of the victims have been recovered so far, the governor added.
“There are far more fatalities than there were in Hurricane Harvey. That’s how catastrophic this is,” Abbott said at the news conference Tuesday.
Kerr County was hit especially hard, with at least 87 deaths being recorded in the county, including 30 children.
