Gov. Greg Abbott, R-Texas, ripped into the media after a veteran journalist suggested Republicans' rhetoric is partially to blame for the crisis at the southern border.
Abbott responded Tuesday to a clip from his interview with Martha Raddatz after she said she had never heard President Biden use the term "open border" while instead recounting such rhetoric from Abbott, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and former President Donald Trump.
Abbott compared the Biden administration and Trump-era leads to the conclusion the preceding administration oversaw the most secure border in decades. "That's what President Trump did, and we had the lowest border crossings since last century," he said. Host Jesse Watters asked if Abbott offered Raddatz an aerial view of the border crisis, which the governor said he indeed did.
