Texas Governor Candidate Tells CPAC Trump-Backed Abbott Is a 'RINO' Who 'Doesn't Want to Face You'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former Texas state Senator Don Huffines attacked Governor Greg Abbott's record and called the incumbent a "RINO" at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Dallas on Saturday.

Huffines, who's challenging Abbott in the 2022 Republican gubernatorial primary, seized on his rival's absence to convince the party's more conservative voters that he would be the candidate who can better stand up to Democrats.

"Where is Greg Abbott?" Huffines said. "Why isn't he here? He's not here because he doesn't want to face you."

Renae Eze, a spokesperson for Abbott, defended the governor's absence from the event, saying he's "focused on working with the Legislature to ensure a successful special session," according to The Dallas Morning News.

4. This has to scare some actual conservatives. There is no way they think that kind of

crap is good. Like they secretly hated Trump, they may not be able to say much about it.
