\u201cHow does @GovAbbott explain to the parents of dead children that "it could have been worse?" Children so mutilated by an AR15 assault weapon legally purchased by an 18 yr old - that their own parents were unable to identify them. @GregAbbott_TX is the reason.\u201d

\u201cAbbot is going to regret this. Police waited outside for at least an hour\u2014preventing parents from entering the school in large groups, willing to take on the gunman unarmed. The shooter may have killed *himself*\u2014according to video evidence.\u201d

\u201cThese weren\u2019t soldiers who lost their lives in a battle\u2026 and it could\u2019ve been worse? These were children/grandchildren! They didn\u2019t sacrifice their lives for their other classmates. They were violently and needlessly gunned down. #UvaldeMassacre #mothersagainstgregabbott\u201d

\u201cHey @GovAbbott --- do you have the guts to attend the funerals of the children and tell their families to their faces, "it could have been worse."?????? \n\nYou're sick. Have fun when the devil tells YOU "it could have been worse" when you join him in the afterlife.\u201d

\u201cSo what could be more worse than 19 kids and 2 teachers getting shot up no empathy at all there's a special place in hell for people like @GovAbbott\u201d

\u201cI miss the days when screaming too loud lost you the election. Now, this buffoon will probably still win. Disgusting\u201d

\u201cJust to be clear when @GovAbbott says \u201c..it could have been worse.\u201d He means a Police Officer could of been killed. Don\u2019t get it twisted believing he meant children folks.\u201d

\u201cRepublicans are slowly trying to bring hell to Earth bc they know deep down that's where they're headed, and they want to ruin it for the rest of us\u201d
