A TV ad which severely criticized Texas Trumpublican Governor Greg Abbottโ€˜s handling of the COVID epidemic in his state was scheduled to air last Saturday during a U. of Texas Longhorns football game.

The Texas football mantra โ€œHook โ€˜em Hornsโ€ apparently applies not only to the Longhorns football teamโ€™s opponents, but to the critics of Trumpublican lackey Gov. Greg Abbott.
