Uvalde misconduct cover-up may be designed to get Greg Abbott re-elected: Lawrence O’Donnell
Raw StoryMSNBC anchor Lawrence O'Donnell on Tuesday publicly wondered on-air if the cover-up in Uvalde was designed to delay public outrage until after Texas GOP Gov. The host began by discussing the appearance by actor Uvalde native Matthew McConaughey in the White House press briefing room, which he said, "may turn out to be the most important speech that an actor has ever given — and I mean ever." "And he delivered that speech today in the White House press briefing room when, in Texas, authorities remain in full cover-up mode from Uvalde to the state Capitol, refusing to say one more word about what happened inside Robb Elementary School, when a mass murderer was given 78 minutes to shoot and murder 19 children beyond recognition, along with two of their teachers," O'Donnell reported. O'Donnell blasted an "absurd" statement from Republican District Attorney Christina Mitchell Busbee saying it could take until 2023 until the public hears anything from Uvalde officials.
