Texas Governor Abbott Criticized for Trump Tweets Amid ‘HOUSTON POWER’ Crisis: Residents’ Frustration Grows

WFCN –

Authorities in Texas took to social media on Saturday, July 13, following the location of the event that authorities are treating as an attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. Even though some Houstonians are still without electricity over a week after Hurricane Beryl, a Texas official faced criticism for speaking out against the potential murder attempt, and Trump supporters have shared words in his favor.

They try to put him in prison. They make an effort to kill him. It will fail miserably. Texas Governor Greg Abbott tweeted X a description of the man he called “invincible” shortly after news of the incident in Butler, Pennsylvania spread on Saturday afternoon.

Although the majority of people were supportive of Abbott’s comments, some were critical of his reaction, particularly considering that almost half a million people in Houston are currently without power. That is, according to CenterPoint Energy’s website as of Sunday morning, July 14.

“Lights are still out for many in Houston.” Never lose sight of the source of your income! The post was responded to by X user @_MrSilence.

Meanwhile, Houstonians are slowly getting electricity back. The region’s 444,286 powerless clients have not been connected as of this writing. The company has stated that 85 percent of homes should have power restored by the end of the weekend.

As authorities and residents alike tried to cope with the aftermath of the storm, Governor Abbott’s social media activity came under scrutiny.

Many people thought that his tweets—which included endorsements of Trump and emphasis on his programs—displayed a callous disregard for the immediate needs of Texans who were facing blackouts, water shortages, and dangerously low temperatures.

As Houston struggled with lengthy power outages, criticism of Abbott’s ill-advised objectives intensified. The governor’s focus on political rhetoric was met with severe criticism, even though residents relied on emergency services and neighborhood cooperation to endure the severe cold.
