"Ive announced a $50K reward for info on the criminal who killed 5 illegal immigrants Friday."

"As we speak, you see the turmoil in Greece, Spain, Italy, and other European nations because of the consequences of too many entitlements, too much bureaucracy, too much governmental interference with the free enterprise system. You can look at the state of California, which is on a pathway to destruction because they expanded government too much, thinking that there would always be someone to pay for it."

"People need to understand that in the aftermath of the Santa Fe shootings, I signed 17 laws to address school safety."

"Im EMBARRASSED: Texas #2 in nation for new gun purchases, behind CALIFORNIA. Lets pick up the pace Texans. @NRA"

"I continue to believe that we can fight this overreach from within the existing system and framework. If I have to, I will use one challenge after another to dismantle governmental operations that I consider violations of the Constitution. During my time as a judge, as a justice, and as attorney general, I’ve had one overarching goal, and that is a strict interpretation and application of the laws and the Constitution. I would be Madisonian."

"Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., slammed Abbott in an interview with CNNs Anderson Cooper on Tuesday, saying he lacks basic knowledge of biology. "Im sorry we have to break down Biology 101 on national television, but in case no one has informed him before in his life, six weeks pregnant means two weeks late for your period," Ocasio-Cortez said. "And two weeks late on your period ... can happen if youre stressed, if your diet changes or for really no reason at all. So you dont have six weeks."
