Interesting spin.

It means nothing.

Masks are a talisman now.

They might as well blame it on him not wearing a rabbit’s foot.

So? Can you stand for the constitution and also get sick? These things are not mutually exclusive.

The network news is focused on trashing him and DeSantis day in and day out. As if they are going to be the cause for the end of western civilization if they don't make kids mask up in the schools.

If he had mandated masks and tested positive for COVID, that fact would not have been included in the headline.

Well guess what, sooner or later EVERYONE is going to get it.
But I’m sure the lib/prog/commies are wishing for his death as we speak.

Ahhh. How I missed the Trumpian headlines from the media. Saying one thing which has nothing to do with the other. “Trump eats 2 scoops of ice cream despite Russian investigation.”

I know social-distancing maskaholics who got the virus and are still defending the masks.

It is my humble opinion that anyone who is a big enough sucker to go get tested, the political world will see to it that they test positive; symptoms or not! One would think a pol of Abbott’s experience would be wise to that.

He was “fully vaccinated” with Pfizer mRNA in January, tests positive 7 months later after the 2nd jab.

Since he is fully vaccinated, but not pushing them on others-he may have done this to prove a point-these industrial strength flu shots are not really vaccines and don’t work all that well-even the gov had a breakthrough case of Wuhan, vaccines and all...

Probably standard procedure for top govt. officials in this covid world.

But with Abbott stating it publicly and with no symptoms of ill health as of now, this shows to the public it's not the end of the world.

Sometimes it makes me wonder how easy it is to sabotage someone’s nasal Covid test. I had mine done and the results were not given to me right away I had to wait a few hours ....hmmmmm so I’m wondering the Texas liberals Are capable of sabotaging the governor. They have been putting roadblock after roadblock on everything he has signed into executive order. To the point that the Texas Supreme Court has to be involved in a lot of roadblocks that the rats have thrown at him. Remember the governor has had his Covid vaccine already and Remember how in the Trump and Biden debates they had some Covid people sitting behind the Trump family and they all got Covid from them or it? Don’t ever underestimate the evil rats specially here in Texas!

Have you noticed how important outspoken conservatives and republicans are testing positive and you never hear of their democrat counterparts testing positive. OR republican governors’ states are super high in new covid cases.

Has anyone seen fauci lately in Texas... or just all his warm bodied covid carriers...?
