In a bizarre video posted to Twitter on Wednesday, the Republican governor of Texas Greg Abbott falsely claimed that free speech social media website Gab is “an anti-semitic platform” that has “no place in Texas,” drawing immediate mockery online for his inaccurate statements.
In the video, Abbott is seen sitting in his wheelchair while flanked by the American and Texan flags, with the Israeli flag taking a prominent role centered directly behind him.
“Anti-semitic platforms like Gab have no place in Texas, and certainly do not represent Texas values,” Abbott said. The governor then displayed an unnamed piece of legislation created by Republican Texas representatives Phil King and Craig Goldman, which he proudly proclaims to fight “anti-semitism in Texas.”
Anti-Semitic platforms do not represent Texas values.
Proud to support @PhilKingTX & @GoldmanCraig’s bill to fight anti-Semitism in our communities. #txlege pic.twitter.com/ZVri3z0Wis

Abbott’s tweet was quickly rebutted and ratioed by the official Gab Twitter account.
“Gab is not an “anti-semitic” platform. We protect the political speech of all Americans, regardless of viewpoint, because in this age of cancel culture nobody else will. That means unpopular viewpoints may be found on the site,” the official Gab account posted in response to Abbott’s tweet.
Gab followed up with another tweet that sharply ratioed Abbott, stating, “The enemies of freedom smear us with every name in the book because they hate America and they hate free speech. It’s a shame to see a GOP politician fall for this trap when conservative values are under sustained attack all over the country.”

Andrew Torba, the CEO of Gab, reiterated these statements on his personal Gab account, again receiving many more likes than the Governor did in his tweet.
National File contacted Abbott’s press office to ascertain how Abbott determined that Gab, founded by a self-professed Christian who openly discusses his faith, is anti-Semitic. We did not receive an immediate response.

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.

Notice how weak this version of the story is compared to http://www.informationliberation.com/?id=62095 It shows how Qanon affiliated people are defacto servants of Zionism. The whole Q movement was a trick probably perpetrated by the Zionists to distract and pacify the Americans that posed the most threat to the new ABnormal and the Zionist World Order. That group most feared by the Beast ZION system is the Veterans and Patriots. They are the people who could have actually changed the trajectory of the country. But instead they/we were instructed to stand down and rely on the plan and the mysterious people behind Q to take down the shadow government….and it is still working. The Qanon patriots are addicted to HOPIUM. They will not awaken. It is too shocking to admit that Trump is a Zionist. Kushner, Ezra Cohen, Pompeo, Bolton, Mike Flynn… all Zionists. The Zionists always win no matter who is in power. Coincidence? Naw, that’s a conspiracy!
