Why would you call him a coward... when, he offfered to meet face to face with every family that wanted a meeting with him... that seems a lot more meaningful than a photo op... The records show he visited Uvalde four times since the shooting.

“Governor Abbott has been to the community multiple times, visiting with every family who requested a meeting and joining his fellow Texans to grieve and worship at events into June,” Eze said in an emailed statement. “Many families requested private funerals, and the Governor and First Lady instead sent flowers and condolences to let the loved ones know they remain in their prayers.”z

Not every family wanted to meet with Governor Abbott and that is understandable. But are you awhere of him refusing to meet with any of the families? There is a time and place for everything... for me funerals are not the place unless the families asked him to attend... are you aware if any families asked him to attend?

"A Uvalde County Sheriff Deputy and father of one of the Uvalde shooting victims has declined to meet Texas Governor Greg Abbott after asking elected officials to ban AR-15 rifles."

As a father of five children, if one of my children died tragically, I would want the media and every politician to respect my family's privacy and would ask them to leave if they attempted to "crash" this deeply emotional and private moment.
