Texas Governor Greg Abbott faced backlash after describing questions about accountability for the recent devastating floods as "the word choice of losers." As recovery efforts continue, with over 111 confirmed deaths and more than 170 people missing, Abbott used a football analogy to avoid directly addressing responsibility for the tragedy. While touring affected areas, the governor scolded a reporter who inquired about blame, emphasizing a need to focus on recovery instead. Critics have slammed his deflection, arguing it demonstrated a lack of accountability in the wake of the disaster.
