Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke on Sunday accused Republican Gov. Greg Abbott of 'spiking inflation' with his now-repealed truck inspection policy that clogged traffic at the Texas-Mexico border.
Beto O'Rourke speaks onstage at"Beto O'Rourke in Conversation with Evan Smith" during the 2022 SXSW Conference and Festivals at Hilton Austin March 12, 2022, in Austin, Texas.
"He just shut down almost all commercial traffic coming into the United States, which is spiking inflation, killing businesses, especially along the border and ensuring higher prices for Texas consumers and more supply shortages for those who want to buy groceries, for example, in the supermarket this weekend," O’Rourke said. "He's really hurting this state and providing no additional benefit for security or safety. That's why so many people in Texas want a change.
O’Rourke also slammed Abbott for bussing migrants to Washington, D.C., and accused the governor of endangering his state’s National Guardsmen by deploying them to the border.
