The Texas governor quoted a Bible verse after allegedly being behind stunt in which asylum seekers were dropped off near Kamala Harris' home.
White House spokesperson Abdullah Hasan accused Abbott of having"abandoned children on the side of the road in below freezing temperatures" on Christmas Eve without coordinating with any federal or local authorities.
"As we have repeatedly said, we are willing to work with anyone—Republican or Democrat alike—on real solutions, like the comprehensive immigration reform and border security measures President Biden sent toon his first day in office, but these political games accomplish nothing and only put lives in danger," Hasan said in a statement.
In response to Abbott's Christmas Day post, Jon B. Wolfsthal, a senior adviser at Global Zero and ex-adviser to then-Vice President Biden, tweeted:"Did you tweet this before or after you shipped 130 migrants to DC with no extra clothes on the coldest night of the year—which also happened to be Christmas?"
