He placed the blame squarely on Governor Greg Abbott&#8217;s shoulders, accusing him of negligence and &#8220;refusing&#8221; to protect Texans.<\/p>\n<h3>Editorial Calls for Action on Gun Violence<\/h3>\n<p>Scarborough and co-host Mika Brzezinski discussed the issue on Monday&#8217;s broadcast, referencing an editorial from The Dallas Morning News that called on Abbott to take action on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/another-wave-of-portland-police-quit-amid-massive-spike-in-shootings-and-stabbings-fire-dept-responding-to-10-homeless-tent-fires-a-day\/\" title=\"Another Wave Of Portland Police Quit Amid Massive Spike In Shootings And Stabbings; Fire Dept.

He accused Abbott of lacking leadership and allowing a &#8220;sickness&#8221; to fester in Texas.<\/p>\n<h3>Direct Accusation<\/h3>\n<p>Scarborough finished with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/jake-tapper-slams-china-for-using-uyghur-muslim-torch-bearer-as-a-human-shield-and-everyone-else-for-allowing-it\/\" title=\"Jake Tapper Slams China For Using Uyghur Muslim Torch-Bearer As A Human Shield \u2014 And Everyone Else For Allowing It\">direct accusation<\/a>, stating that &#8220;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&#8217;s at school or whether it&#8217;s his church or whether it&#8217;s at shopping malls or even inside their own homes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Scarborough accuses Abbott of negligence<\/li>\n<li>Editorial calls for action on gun violence<\/li>\n<li>Abbott criticized for response to shootings<\/li>\n<li>Scarborough makes direct accusation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>It&#8217;s clear that Scarborough is passionate about this issue and believes that Abbott needs to take action to protect Texans. The debate over gun control and violence in America is ongoing, and it&#8217;s important to have voices like Scarborough&#8217;s to keep the conversation going.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MSNBC host Joe Scarborough said that Governor Greg Abbott\u2019s negligence (R-TX) was to blame for the shooting that took place on Saturday at an outlet mall in his state \u2014 and another deadly incident involving a man who drove a vehicle into a crowd of migrants \u2014 arguing that Abbott was \u201crefusing\u201d to protect Texans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":93,"featured_media":1927194,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[541],"tags":[8769,8831,3697,4640,11746,6503,4300],"class_list":["post-1927193","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-daily-wire","tag-incidents","tag-responsibility","tag-abbott","tag-accuses","tag-mall","tag-scarborough","tag-shooting"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1927193","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/93"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1927193"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1927193\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1927194"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1927193"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1927193"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1927193"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
