This came across my twitter feed a bit ago.

The fundraising appeal was dated Aug. 2, a day before the terrorist attack at an El Paso Walmart.
In his troubling manifesto, the white nationalist who killed 22 people and injured many more made his motive clear. His attack, he wrote, was in “response to the Hispanic invasion of Texas. I am simply defending my country from cultural and ethnic replacement brought on by an invasion [italics added].”
The “urgent” letter by Abbott, who said in 2015 he was “embarrassed” Texas didn’t have more gun sales, lays out what he sees are the consequences of inaction on immigration.
“Doing nothing will only lead to disaster for Texas, both economically and politically. Securing our border should be the federal government’s job.”
and here:
In a two-page fundraising mailer dated Aug. 2 — a day before the El Paso massacre — Abbott spoke in alarmist terms about the need to “DEFEND” Texas at the border, cautioning the supposed political implications that could come with unchecked illegal immigration.
“The national Democrat machine has made no secret of the fact that it hopes to ‘turn Texas blue.’ If they can do it in California, they can do it in Texas — if we let them,” Abbott wrote in the fundraising appeal, which was obtained by The Texas Tribune.
Though only U.S. citizens can vote, the governor signed off with another pointed warning: “Unless you and I want liberals to succeed in their plan to transform Texas — and our entire country — through illegal immigration, this is a message we MUST send.”
That went out Friday before the El Paso massacre Saturday.
Much more than gives the lie to this claim by the DMN, which adores them some GOP:

And even the DMN’s readers can see through Abbott’s “action” against domestic terrorism and white supremacy:

It’s the whole nationwide Republican party, AND THEIR LEADERS (Abbott’s Presidential aspirations are a known item) like Abbott, Patrick, Bonnen and their lawless ilk.
