What trickery is this? Abbott requests help from Biden’s gummint? 🤔

> **[Gov. Greg Abbott calls on Biden administration to open more COVID-19 testing...](https://www.texastribune.org/2021/12/31/texas-covid-19-federal-testing-sites/)**
>
> The governor asked the federal government for help opening test sites in Bexar, Cameron, Dallas, Harris, Hidalgo and Tarrant counties.

Requesting help from an illegitimate government for tests and treatment for an imaginary hoax of a disease? 🤯

Ahhh… here’s the barb:

> Abbott is also asking for more shipments of monoclonal antibody treatments, saying that “the Biden administration has cut supplies of monoclonal antibody treatments and testing kits when they are needed most.”

Greg is blaming Joe for the uptick in cases (of the imaginary hoax disease) in Texas by saying Joe is withholding tests and treatments. Right.

So if numbers continue to go up (and they surely will), it will be Biden’s fault, and if they come down it will be _in spite of_ Biden’s efforts to make Texans get sick and die, but Greg wouldn’t let him get away with it. Gotcha.
