Texas Gov. Abbott blames Covid spread on immigrants, criticizes Biden’s ‘Neanderthal’ comment

KEY POINTS
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Thursday criticized President Joe Biden for calling his decisions to lift Covid restrictions and mask mandates earlier this week “Neanderthal thinking.”

Abbott claimed the Biden administration has been “releasing immigrants in South Texas that have been exposing Texans to Covid.”

Abbott defended his decision to lift most of the state’s Covid-19 restrictions and mask mandate, a move that has been widely criticized.

He doesn't know from Neanderthals, but like any Republican he's deeply offended when people impute the activity of "thinking" to them.
