Related: About this forumDoes anyone actually know where Greg Abbot is right now?
I've been asked several times today and I don't have an answer beyond Patrick has stepped in as acting governor. I know abbot made a formal statement a bit ago, but I still am unsure where he is?

(43,227 posts)Hes either doing behind the scenes important stuff for the citizens of Texas. Tending to a medical situation. Or, most likely ensuring that conservative values win the day. Most sad, Texans dont have an answer to your question. Let me guess, Abbott is a Republican. Regardless of what he is doing, Texans should know.

(19,733 posts)15 hours later he addressed the issue and Dan Patrick has been calling himself the Governor all day and this is what you've got?
Cool. Stupid as all get up, but hey if it works for you.

(13 posts)I watched a good portion of the very boring presser at KXAN with Abbott, Patrick and a bunch of other people all clapping themselves on the back. I was trying to get some information on the missing kids, by hey, whatever. The kids are still missing. Abbott and Patrick are not missing.
Presser is all over the internet. Give it a search.
Only media outlet talking about Abbott missing is something called Hindustan Times.

I'm the 51 year old with ovarian cancer who hardly posts here. Unless you're LG you'd have zero issues with me. She only does due to my time on mirt.

(13 posts)Then you responded by calling me cute.
Then you respond with a contradictory post threatening to have me "looked into"?
And I'm weird?
OK. Sure. Good luck with the cancer, really.

Patrick called himself "acting governor " why do you suppose that?
Look I couldn't care less about you. Just bye to you and your false narrative.

It's the reason I was watching the presser.

(31,014 posts)He was reliably pathetic, as usual. Of course, Dan Patrick wrecked things, before Abbott showed up. God forbid a genuinely tragic occurrence ever takes place in Texas, without Republican leadership making it worse...

Criminal negligence from the top to the bottom.
Just like Uvalde.
