Greg \u2063Abbott &#8220;A Sadist&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>The \u200cView co-host Joy Behar made a bold statement during Tuesday\u2064 morning&#8217;s episode, referring to Gov.\u2064 Greg Abbott (R-TX)\u200d as &#8220;a sadist.&#8221; This comment comes in \u2064the wake of \u200cthe Department of Justice filing\u200c a lawsuit against Abbott, demanding the removal of a floating\u200b barrier installed in\u2063 the \u2063Rio Grande. Abbott, however, has vowed to take the fight to the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<h3>Behar&#8217;s Accusation<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;You know,\u2062 the thing about Abbott \u200bis \u2064that\u200d he is a sadist,&#8221; \u200bBehar passionately expressed. &#8220;I looked up the\u2062 word &#8216;sadist.&#8217; It&#8217;s\u200d a person who derives pleasure, \u200dsometimes sexual gratification \u2014\u2063 I don&#8217;t think \u2063that&#8217;s his problem \u200d\u2014 from\u2063 inflicting\u2063 pain, suffering, or\u200b humiliation on\u2063 others. And \u2062to \u2064that point, \u200cI\u2064 want to tell Americans\u2064 that Abbott \u2063signed a law\u200c stripping\u200c construction workers, who\u2064 are working in 110-degree Texas\u200c heat \u2063\u2014 he has\u200d stripped them of the\u200b right to water breaks every four hours and time to rest in\u200c the shade. He does not \u200dallow them\u2062 to just take some water because they\u2019re in this heat.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Behar firmly believes that \u200bthe governor possesses &#8220;a \u200bsadistic streak&#8221; and criticizes\u200c Texas voters\u200d for \u2062choosing Abbott over Beto\u2062 O&#8217;Rourke in the \u20622022 Texas gubernatorial election.<\/p>\n<h3>The DOJ Lawsuit and Abbott&#8217;s Response<\/h3>\n<p>The Department of Justice has\u2062 demanded that the Texas government remove \u2062the\u200c floating barrier at their own expense, arguing that \u200dits \u200binstallation is illegal. The White House has also criticized Abbott&#8217;s policies, labeling them \u200bas &#8220;dangerous and\u200c unlawful.&#8221; Prior\u200b to the lawsuit, O&#8217;Rourke called on President Joe\u200c Biden \u2063to take\u200c decisive action\u2062 against Abbott.<\/p>\n<p>However, Abbott remains steadfast in his refusal\u2064 to dismantle \u200cthe barriers.\u2063 In a letter to President\u2064 Biden, he emphasized Texas&#8217;s constitutional authority to address the \u200ccrisis caused by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bidens-blue-state-claw-back\/\" title=\"Biden\u2019s Blue State Claw Back\">illegal immigration<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;If you truly care\u200b about human life, you must <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-views-joy-behar-calls-abbott-a-sadist-as-border-buoy-battle-intensifies\/\" title=\"Joy Behar of The View labels Abbott as a sadist amidst escalating border buoy dispute.\">begin enforcing federal \u2064immigration laws<\/a>,&#8221; Abbott\u200d wrote. &#8220;By doing so, \u200cyou can help me \u2064stop\u2062 migrants from wagering \u2064their\u2064 lives in the waters \u200dof the Rio\u200d Grande \u2064River.
