Interview with Texas Governor, Greg Abbott

Mexican Restaurant – Lubbock, TX

So what was the reasoning behind lifting the covid safety restrictions on March 10?
Look, only a few hundred people a day are dying in Texas.  That’s just half of the deaths at the Alamo. It’s about time we get back to enjoying the true pleasures in life, like Tex Mex.  The great citizens of Texas can finally eat their queso AND listen to a packed room sing Happy Birthday in Mexican.

Is it true that you’ve personally received a vaccine and your birthday coming up?
Irrelevant. 

Some people, like me, call your move Neanderthal, reckless, irresponsible, shameful, ignorant, shortsighted, selfish, incorrigible, disgraceful, repugnant, reprehensible, abhorrent, negligent, foolish, and imprudent.  What do you have to say to that?
It’s hard to hear you under your – what is it five? – masks, but thank you for the compliments.  That does make me sound quite presidential.

It seems like you’re trying to create an environment for a Texas variant.
Well, you got me.  Our variant is going to be the biggest, best one.  And I think the RNC will notice my work!
