Texas Gov. Greg Abbott Loudly Booed By Crowd As He Arrives At Uvalde Shooting Memorial

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott Loudly Booed By Crowd As He Arrives At Uvalde Shooting Memorial

Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott was loudly booed by the crowd as he arrived at a memorial to honor the lives of those killed last week in the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.

Abbott and his office have faced significant criticism following the murders of 19 children and two teachers, an event that has once again sparked a national conversation about gun control measures.


Video from the memorial shows that multiple people booed at Abbott and that others shouted at him, imploring him to do something.

You can watch what happened in the videos below.


Abbott is widely considered responsible for loosening gun restrictions in the state of Texas, making it even easier for individuals to obtain assault-style weapons.

Authorities identified the shooter as an 18-year-old male who was a resident of Uvalde and a student at Uvalde High School. He purchased two semi-automatic rifles through a local gun store earlier this month, just days after his birthday.

Last year, Abbott signed a law that loosened gun restrictions, allowing individuals who are 18 years or older to legally purchase long guns, which include shotguns and rifles.

The response to Abbott's appearance lies in stark contrast to the warm welcome that President Joe Biden has received in Uvalde, coming after he consoled the victims and families of those who were killed by a White supremacist during a mass shooting at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York earlier this month.

Many have heaped more criticism on him as the the toll of the shooting continues to be felt nationwide



Last week, Abbott sparked outrage after saying the mass shooting "could have been worse," adding that "Texans must come together and support the families who have been affected by this horrific tragedy."

Abbott also dismissed calls for stronger gun control laws while bringing up a conservative talking point about crimes in liberal urban centers, saying that "there are more people who are shot every weekend in Chicago than there are in schools in Texas."

Conservatives Predictably Outraged After Mattel Introduces New Barbie With Type 1 Diabetes

Conservatives lashed out at toymaker Mattel after the company introduced a new Barbie doll with Type 1 diabetes, including an insulin pump and blood sugar tracker—an action they say is "woke" while not understanding the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.

Mattel revealed a new partnership with Breakthrough T1D— formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation—to launch a Barbie doll that authentically represents people living with Type 1 diabetes. The collaboration, Mattel said, ensures the doll “truly captures the community,” including accessories that “accurately reflect the medical equipment” commonly used by individuals with the condition.

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
