2. Nice gesture, but you know he won't.

Abbott is a fucking asshole who is trying to win over the Fox / MAGA crowd in 2024. So of course he's passing this BS in order to score points with the MAGA douches.

I doubt it. This is another trying to have it both ways to make money.

It would be nice if they pulled their funding of gop politicians, but I'm gonna guess they won't.
