I think he's trying to distract from the fact that everybody's utility bills, electricity bills have gone up about $40 or more a month after Winter Storm Yuri when we had the blackout and Gas companies withheld the gas that our grid needed until they could make record profits, billions in mere hours. Greg Abbott let that happen and he got a $1 million contribution from one of those gas company CEOs and now we are all paying more on our electricity bills. (08:51–08:58)
