Texas Governor Greg Abbott fired back at President Joe Biden’s contention that he had trouble tracking him down to free up emergency funds for hurricane relief, saying the allegation was “completely false and bizarre.”
“You would think that if a president were to make an attack like that on a governor, he would have the receipts to prove it,” Abbott said in an interview Wednesday with Bloomberg Television during a trip to Asia to attract investment. “When Joe Biden said this time he called me, he just flat out made it up.”
