You know what doesn’t “sell well” @GregAbbott_TX?
The fact that 36,000 Texans have died from Covid.
Your have undermined public health and local leadership at every turn, and now too many of our family, friends and neighbors are dead because of it. 1/8 https://twitter.com/roberttgarrett/status/1354867189401182210

If you’d followed the science instead of the polling from the start, we could have contained Covid, saved lives and let everyone get back to work. More than 4 million unemployment claims and too many businesses sidelined because you couldn’t do the right thing. 2/8
Also not selling so well: you’ve abandoned rural Texans. 21 hospitals have closed in rural counties since 2010, and now more than a million Texans might lose phone & internet service because you cut subsidies for those providers. In the middle of a pandemic. 3/8
On your watch: We are dead last in the ability to see a doctor, fill a prescription or ensure a woman can make her own decisions about her own body. Too many are dying of cervical cancer, diabetes, the flu- as well as Covid —because you’ve ensured they can’t get insured. 4/8
What doesn’t “sell well” is the fact that we continue to see our fellow Texans lose their lives to gun violence because you are obsessed with pleasing the NRA and the gun lobby instead of protecting the people you were elected to serve. 5/8
And while you’re busy selling yourself to the NRA, you’re letting down working Texans. $7.25 minimum wage! You undermine unions & the right to organize. Nearly half of teachers work a second job because you won’t support the women and men who are educating our children. 6/8
And the most vulnerable — those who can’t afford what you’re selling — are left to their own devices. Like the foster kids sleeping under the desks at CPS offices. And the 11 children who died in state care last year. 7/8
Whether or not I run, I will do everything in my power to elect a Governor who looks out for everyone, keeps Texans safe, answers to the people instead of the special interests & guarantees that we all have equal opportunity to achieve our best in life. 8/8
