a Saturday night tweet. In a statement, Abbott said that he’s requested the state’s Board of Pardon and Parole to determine if a pardon should be granted for Perry, and “instructed the Board to expedite its review.”“I look forward to approving the board’s pardon recommendation as soon as it hits my desk,” the governor wrote.
At this point, there’s nothing particularly novel or useful about pointing out Republican hypocrisy.
