Abbott was duped by a satire website that he shared on his Twitter feed. What he did was link a story from a satire website called The Dunning-Kruger Times.
Okay. If the name alone isn't enough of a giveaway, the site states outright that it's part of a network of parody, satire, and tomfoolery, adding if you believe that is real, you should have your head examined."
The story Abbott shared said Garth Brooks was booed off the stage at the 123rd Annual Texas Country Jamboree in Hambriston, Texas.
So, Abbott gleefully tweeted "Go woke. Go broke. Good job Texas."
One big problem.
The jamboree wasn't a real event, and Hambriston isn't a real place.
That didn't deter Abbott who apparently didn't pick up the multitude of clues provided by the website. For the record when he was informed of his stupidity, he deleted the tweet and pretended it never happened.
Moving on...
- Marjory Taylor Greene informed her supporters she is being spied on by her TV! Need I say more?
- GOP Sen. Markwayne Mullin challenged a union boss to a MMA fight for charity. Apparently, Mullins can't wait to get his hands on Sean O'Brian who stood up to him recently.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I doubt Mullins was elected for his cage fighting skills. His constituents more than likely expected representation on matters that affected them.
As it stands, the list of dumb things said or done by Americans increases daily and is a subject I will turn to again down the road.
