Scarborough accuses Abbott of responsibility for mall shooting and other incidents.

MSNBC Host Blames Governor for Texas Shootings

Joe Scarborough, host of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” didn’t hold back when discussing the recent shootings in Texas. He placed the blame squarely on Governor Greg Abbott’s shoulders, accusing him of negligence and “refusing” to protect Texans.

Editorial Calls for Action on Gun Violence

Scarborough and co-host Mika Brzezinski discussed the issue on Monday’s broadcast, referencing an editorial from The Dallas Morning News that called on Abbott to take action on gun violence. The editorial board argued that it was not “conservative” to ignore the problem and that Abbott needed to address the “terrible imbalance” between gun ownership and society’s ability to function without fear of violent death.

Abbott’s Response Criticized

Scarborough criticized Abbott’s response to the recent shootings, claiming that he was more interested in the alleged perpetrator’s immigration status than in how the individual was able to obtain a firearm. He accused Abbott of lacking leadership and allowing a “sickness” to fester in Texas.

Direct Accusation

Scarborough finished with a direct accusation, stating that “there is a sickness in the state of Texas, and that sickness starts at the very top with Greg Abbott, who refuses to protect little children in the state of Texas, whether it’s at school or whether it’s his church or whether it’s at shopping malls or even inside their own homes.”
