Greg Abbott: ‘Neighbor Helping Neighbor’ in Texas Has ‘Been Nothing Short of Remarkable’

RUSH EXCERPT:

ABBOTT: "The most profound thing we observed were volunteers who were stacked up, one by one, and the hundreds who were helping out, helping their fellow Texans with urgent needs such as supplies, with assistance in repairing their homes. I talked to some of these volunteers in Victoria, and asked them how they were doing, asked them how their home was. Many of them said that their home was out of power, but yet they were there at the volunteer center helping other people around the Victoria area. One of the most profound things that we’ve observed in the aftermath of this horrific devastating storm has been both the resiliency and the way that Texans have been united, supporting each other. We should laud and applaud the incredible efforts of our first responders, but when you look at the average everyday Texan, neighbor helping neighbor, it’s been nothing short of remarkable."
