A furious backlash quickly erupts on social media after the governor of #Texas refers to the victims of the latest mass shooting in his state as “illegal immigrants.”

How about you tell your journalist friends to fk'n confront Abbott? He dehumanizes the dead because he wants to make it about brown people instead of guns and none of you will call him out to his face. Next week, it'll all be forgotten and you'll go on treating him as if he's not a virulent racist that uses murder victims as tools to get bigots to vote for him.
