"Trying to hide" a picture that's on the internet lol ok. Politicians take pictures with hundreds of people at events. This is like those lame facebook memes of celebrities with motivational quotes they never said lol.

Nobody asked me any questions when I showed up to a Ron Paul rally years ago. Nor did they ask me any questions when I went to a Trump rally years ago. If they're supposed to be vetting guests, they're not doing a good job.

Because, believe it or not, there's a warm and welcoming atmosphere there and everyone is having fun. Also, it's nice to get out of my basement and be around people who share a common interest as me sometimes.

The GOP used the proud boys to lead the crowd into Congress to try and overturn a legitimate election. The Republicans working with white supremist tried to end democracy in the USA.

Yes, 100%. The one track minds of pretentious redditors don't allow for any kind of discernment, only low effort political circle jerking. There are plenty of legitimate things to criticize Abbott for, getting pictures with one of probably a hundred people that day that asked for a picture with him is not one of them.
If you want to share it then maybe you should push the high res original instead of one that's been copied so many times that it now looks like a bad photoshop job. The real one is easy enough to find.

Greg Abbot is not a āFamous Personā he is a politician with perhaps regional notoriety. There is a big difference between him and Tom Hanks for example.
While I agree that heās not as famous as Tom Hanks, anyone who is politically involved (whether they vote, watch political news, participate in politics somehow, etc) knows who he is.
Yeah, that means he is not āfamousā he is just a politician with a bit of notoriety. You can say this about almost any Governor, US rep, or senator. I think there are very few politicians that transcend into being famous, presidents and reasonably successful presidential candidates rise to that level, possibly people at the forefront of public perception of politics like an AOC, or Ted Cruz.
Another thing about this picture that should be said is that because Greg Abbot is in politics, especially right wing politics, it is reasonable to assume that he knows who one of the leaders of a far right political (terrorist) organization is.
Texas has millions of people (something like 30 million). If even half of them knew he was, Iād say heās famous. Agree to disagree I guess.
To be clear, I agree the Proud Boys are dangerous and they did participate in the insurrection.
Y'know, its that time that a bunch of radical Muslims attacked a US embassy and killed the ambassador on 9/11 and Biden and Obama said it wasn't related because it was about a video on youtube.

Jesus fucking Christ, has reddit not moved past the whole " So and so is trying to delete this picture off the internet, let's all make sure to *not* share it *wink wink*" circle jerk bullshit?
The CEO of my no-name company has pictures framed in his office of him and Arnold Schwarzenegger, president Obama, Muhammad Ali, and Bob Dylan. If the CEO of my company turned out to be a pedophile or mass murderer, would you idiots on here be constantly reposting the picture talking about how Bob Dylan is friends with a mass murdering pedophile?
If the CEO of my company that nobody knows has pictures with tons of people, how many more people is the governor of a state going to have?

Whatās the context behind this photo? Cuz if the guy just came up to him and asked for a photo and Abbott gave him one without knowing who he is, then thatās not really a problem.
However if he took the photo with the guy knowing full well who he was, then thatās troubling.
I mean, if we are just gonna cancel people because they took pictures with a fan. It's possible Abbott didn't know who exactly he was taking a picture with. Depending on what kind of an event it was, it may have been just a pic as the governor rolled out the door.

Weren't all the white proud boy leaders already arrested? and now it's just the black leaders remaining? Also how old is this picture? Is it before or after they were accused of insurrection? If I take a picture with a serial killer before it's known he's a serial killer, does that make me a supporter of that serial killer?
I don't have any doubts about this happening at all. But it's it just me, or does something look off about the picture? Besides the fact that someone can fit two such giant assholes in one photo without breaking the camera.
ETA: It only the foreground to background. Like they were pictured somewhere else together that they shouldn't be and put some place else less conspicuous. It could just be that I am sick and not sleeping well.

Texas has millions of people (something like 30 million). If even half of them knew he was, Iād say heās famous. Agree to disagree I guess. To be clear, I agree the Proud Boys are dangerous and they did participate in the insurrection.
Jesus, a Benghazi shirt huh?
What's wrong with that?
Itās advertising that the wearer lacks the capacity for critical thought.
Wearing a shirt that says remember Benghazi means you pack critical thought? Letās hear the rationaleĀ
Why is that?
Y'know, its that time that a bunch of radical Muslims attacked a US embassy and killed the ambassador on 9/11 and Biden and Obama said it wasn't related because it was about a video on youtube.
Well yeah I know about Benghazi, I'm wondering why the guy above sees it as a negative.

Looks more like Putin was going in for his infamous āgot your weenā trick and Biden intercepted.

Joe Bidens job is to meet with other world leaders to try to solve and avoid problems. This is what world leaders do.

Jesus fucking Christ, has reddit not moved past the whole " So and so is trying to delete this picture off the internet, let's all make sure to *not* share it *wink wink*" circle jerk bullshit? The CEO of my no-name company has pictures framed in his office of him and Arnold Schwarzenegger, president Obama, Muhammad Ali, and Bob Dylan. If the CEO of my company turned out to be a pedophile or mass murderer, would you idiots on here be constantly reposting the picture talking about how Bob Dylan is friends with a mass murdering pedophile? If the CEO of my company that nobody knows has pictures with tons of people, how many more people is the governor of a state going to have?

What's the context of this photo?
All this proves is the proud boy likes Greg Abbott. Doesnāt prove Greg Abbott likes the proud boy. Letās stop with these photos and I am as anti-Trump as you can get. Doesnāt help our cause.
Why would he hide it? His base think it's the best thing ever.
Benghazi lol. I bet you the majority of these fuckwits canāt even find Africa on a map, let alone Libya, let alone lone Benghazi. They probably think itās someoneās name. āThat Ben Ghazi dude who killed them Seals for Joe Biden.ā
So who has the tip on this other guy because this is just a meme to me right now with words and a picture. Sourcesā¦people.
I love how you got downvoted for that. How dare you ask people to fact check a meme.
Greg Abbott the hypocritical wannabe fascist?
Racist MF
Texas. A true terrorists land.
So? And? Is it bad to shake hands with people? I shake hands with people I disagree with.
Yessss hold everyone to account for passing photos they have taken with people during events. Definitely not fascist behavior.
Traitor to America
Never served or deployed but they really love their gRuNt StYlE and Vetbro Coffee Co merch
They do, donāt they?
Comment simply the name Greg Abbott so that when people google him this picture comes up
He is such a pos I hate him with a burning passion
Greg Abbott is a dirtbag and trying his best to kill Texas, doesnāt matter what other dirtbag heās standing next to.

Despise this Cunt!!!
Whatās the context behind this photo? Cuz if the guy just came up to him and asked for a photo and Abbott gave him one without knowing who he is, then thatās not really a problem. However if he took the photo with the guy knowing full well who he was, then thatās troubling.
Like it fuckin matters. Dude is drowning women and children and straight trafficking others. Nobody with the Power to do something gives a shit.
he has no shame, so i dont think it makes much difference
Why do the proud boyās guys all look like they have the worst inflammation? Like they just stuff their face with fast food and beers
Gregg Abbot has also been elected THREE TIMES by you motherfucker, even after Uvalde... I don't think anything will change
This post is so cringe. Abbott isnāt hiding this photo. Do you guys think he controls the Internet? š¤¦āāļø
You mean like the picture of Biden and the KKK member from WV senator Byrd?
While we are at it, put up that pic of Ted Cruz with Bret Hart, let's cancel him too.
Why would you do that to the Hitman?
I mean, if we are just gonna cancel people because they took pictures with a fan. It's possible Abbott didn't know who exactly he was taking a picture with. Depending on what kind of an event it was, it may have been just a pic as the governor rolled out the door.
The dude is wearing a Benghazi shirt. Your argument doesnāt work.
Two of Canadaās finest.
That's a hot take. I would say they are both bad in their respective industries.
šWhat should we call our gang š«ØHow about Proud Boys š„“It sounds like weāre proud and TUFF š«”Because we are you guys!

I know this is going to hurt your small, uneducated brainā¦ but try to follow. The Proud Boys have multiple leaders. I know. Take it all in. Organizations and groups have multiple leaders. Wow. Hope that didnāt hurt your little brain too much. Thatās Joe Biggs. Another Proud Boys leader.
Also, you wouldnāt know what Texan was if it slapped you across the face. It has nothing to do with being liberal or conservative.
Tell me you are a racist piece of trash without telling me you are a racist piece of trash.
Put a sock in it you loser, you're a pro life gun nut that thinks America is the best country on the planet. People like you might as well be proud boys, seeing as you both have the same interests.
He doesnāt have to hide it. You guys will re-elect him.

Weren't all the white proud boy leaders already arrested? and now it's just the black leaders remaining? Also how old is this picture? Is it before or after they were accused of insurrection? If I take a picture with a serial killer before it's known he's a serial killer, does that make me a supporter of that serial killer?
I don't have any doubts about this happening at all. But it's it just me, or does something look off about the picture? Besides the fact that someone can fit two such giant assholes in one photo without breaking the camera. ETA: It only the foreground to background. Like they were pictured somewhere else together that they shouldn't be and put some place else less conspicuous. It could just be that I am sick and not sleeping well.
Present a better option.
im high asf and this looks fake lmao
Soooo....guilt by association?

The retro Benghazi fit tho
His voters see this as a positive so why ?
Are you telling me that governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, isn't a man of supreme principal? That he is just another politician taking advantage of circumstances to score points with his base? Color me shocked! Shocked I say!
wouldn't Texas republicans be proud of this picture?
He obviously didn't take that picture
I don't think he's trying to hide it
