Abbott Bribed by TikTok Investor For School Choice Support?
Many people are wondering
According to the Texas Ethics Commission (TEC), Abbott received $250,000 from a Pennsylvania-based GOP megadonor, Jeff Yass. Considering Yass’s past with an arch-libertarian think tank called the Cato Institute, one could argue this was actually a “cross-aisle” donation.
Considering Yass is also the biggest American investor in Chinese Vine knockoff TikTok, he may just think his school choice advocacy will offset the irreparable brain damage done to millions of US youth.
It seems odd that Abbott suddenly went from being a vocal school choice supporter to a diehard partisan that makes school choice votes a prerequisite for endorsements. With various candidates and politicians getting pressured to donate money from “problematic organizations,” why is Abbott not criticized for taking donations from Chinese proxies?
We have been taught to assume that with other Texas politicians there is (as covered previously) a “two things” standard:
A campaign donation occurs.
A thing happens.
Under this logic, would it follow that since a TikTok investor happening to be a school choice fan dumped money on Abbott, followed by Abbott railing harder for pro-school choice initiatives, would this be a “bribe?”
For whatever reason, “two things” standard promoters never apply these parameters to Abbott, even when it clearly explains certain actions. If he will accept freebies from an invader-harboring slumlord (followed by “border security” via floaties), it is not a stretch taking them from a guy supporting China’s right to data mine Texas kids.
So, was Abbott bribed? Is this why voters’ priorities get passed piecemeal each session? Is an Abbott impeachment around the corner? Who knows? But many people are asking.
Overall, one thing is certain: If you want something done, you need connections and cash.
Previously we had anyone receiving donations from one group were automatically Nazis or tolerating Nazis.
Therefore anyone receiving support from Abbott are automatically Communists or is tolerating Communists right???
This article is confusing. I don't follow school choice , or vouchers, etc. for this reason. So many underlying agendas. I was a teacher for many yrs. and saw what was happening. But, public schools are going to be the choice for many parents. Period. The end. The education lobby is hard to fight.
