Conservatives Condemn Texas Gov. Greg Abbott Over Gab Criticism
12 Mar 2021
The Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott (R), sparked controversy and condemnation from Jewish conservatives on social media after he branded the free-speech friendly social network Gab an “antisemitic platform,” a charge strongly denied by the company.
During a press conference announcing a bill reportedly aimed at fighting antisemitism in the state, Gov. Abbott said “antisemitic platforms like Gab have no place in Texas and certainly do not represent Texas values.”
Gab called the governor’s statement “despicable and false,” drawing attention to the large number of Jewish users on the platform.

th of March has passed quietly without the “magic” return of Donald Trump to the Oval Office (as predicted by various conspiracy-mongers), it is time to sweep out the trash. And there is a lot of it!
By the way, any ire at Democrats over the election also needs to be directed at the flip-side of the Uniparty coin, too. At the top of the list is Mitch McConnell, the ingrate who has turned on a dime to accuse President Trump of “provoking the riot” on 6 January. Never mind that the storming of Capitol Hill was a planned event, parts of which were captured by a freelance CNN journalist who was collaborating with an Antifa
