'Poor leadership': Texas Gov. Greg Abbott criticized for blaming younger residents for COVID-19 spread
"Gov. Abbott has followed Donald Trump’s orders at every turn in his pandemic response, including downplaying the seriousness of the virus and plowing through reopening phases,” Tara Pohlmeyer, communications director of Progress Texas, said to USA TODAY in a written statement.
"There is a way to keep Texans safer, and that is to mandate mask-wearing in public places. Wearing a mask promotes freedom by allowing Texans to be in public safely. If we’re really in this together, all Texans have a duty to protect each other and Gov. Abbott has a duty to take responsibility for his actions,” she continued.
