Someone Else Has Flipped Against Trump
Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet
 
Besides the many charges facing former President Donald Trump, which number nearly 100, there’s ample fear that some entangled in these legal actions might flip.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott accuses Biden administration of cutting razor wire at border: 'Opening the floodgates'

"Texas installed razor wire in Eagle Pass to stop illegal crossings," Abbott explained on X, formerly known as Twitter. "Today the Biden Admin CUT that wire, opening the floodgates to illegal immigrants."

"I immediately deployed more Texas National Guard to repel illegal crossings & install more razor wire," the Republican governor added.

The governor later posted a picture of a letter he sent directly to President Biden in November, and declared that the President's policies caused "an invasion at our border." "We are building a border wall, razor wire & marine barriers," Abbott wrote. "We are also repelling migrants." Read more and see videos here.
