(TJV) Governor Greg Abbott (R-Texas) shot back at Democrat New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ proposal to send a busload of New Yorkers to the Lone Star State, telling him to “Make my day.”
Demanding Adams “bring it,” Abbott responded to the retaliatory threat Wednesday by saying he would be delighted if the NYC mayor carried through on the proposal, noting the plan could only work in his favor.
“I kind of feel like Clint Eastwood. Go ahead, make my day,” Abbott told Fox News’ “The Faulkner Focus.”
“There could hardly be anything better to aid my campaign against Beto O’Rourke than to have Beto O’Rourke have his campaign aided by a bunch of New Yorkers – that will not be viewed very positively in the State of Texas.”

Adams on Tuesday said he was “deeply contemplating” loading a bus full of New Yorkers to canvass the Lone Star State against Abbott’s reelection in November.
The issue began last week when Gov. Abbott announced that, in addition to Washington DC, he’d also be dropping illegals off in the Big Apple to receive sanctuary freebies Mayor Adams has promised.
