80. Abbott sued whomever put him in that wheelchair and has done everything under the sun to insure someone else can't

I'm not sure what your point is here other than attempting to show Democrats as hypocrites in regard to compassion.

Sadly for Abbott, his actions against the most vulnerable Texans wipes out any empathy he may have had.

If he weren't disable, he'd bend over backward to make sure builders etc. wouldn't have to cater to them.
