A tree fell on him, leaving him paralyzed. He sued & got a payout amount granted by the lawsuit settlement, totaling $8.9 million. He then championed legislation that limits lawsuits awards so a payout can’t exceed like $250,000, or so. I may be wrong on that figure but pretty much he said fuck you I got mine. He’s a piece of shit.

As of Monday, two people in Harris County died after Beryl caused trees to fall on their homes, authorities said.

May they haunt Abbott the rest of his days
