LIBERAL HYPOCRISY! Democrat Judge Mocks Handicapped GOP Governor

Liberal hypocrisy was on display when a Texas judge was forced to apologize for a despicable sick jab at the Lone Star State’s GOP governor who is a paraplegic.

Governor Greg Abbott who has been confined to a wheelchair since he was paralyzed after a tree fell on him following a storm while he was out jogging.

He was 26-years-old at the time and rather than succumb to his tragic limitations, he worked to better his state and society and was elected as governor of Texas in 2014.

To normal people, Governor Abbott serves as an inspiration about overcoming adversity but not to Judge Sarah Eckhardt, a Travis County Democrat who while speaking to her fellow hypocritical liberals, took a cheap shot at Abbott over his disability.

According to Judge Eckhardt, the 61-year-old conservative governor “hates trees because one fell on him,” a remark that spread like wildfire to the extent that the activist jurist was compelled to issue a fake apology.

Via The Texas Tribune, “Travis County judge apologizes for saying Gov. Greg Abbott “hates trees because one fell on him””:

Travis County Judge Sarah Eckhardt apologized late Friday for saying Gov. Greg Abbott “hates trees because one fell on him” during a panel discussion at The Texas Tribune Festival.

A journalist from The Federalist, John Daniel Davidson, first reported the comment in a tweet. Davidson added that the crowd laughed after Eckhardt’s comments, which were made in the context of the Texas Legislature overriding local ordinances like Austin’s tree ordinance.

“In my panel today at the Texas Tribune Festival on ‘Public Enragement’ I spoke about the importance of being able to disagree without being disagreeable. Then I said something disagreeable,” Eckhardt said in statement late Friday. “I want to apologize to Governor Abbott. I made a flippant comment that was inappropriate. The comment did nothing to further the debate I was participating in, much less further the political discourse in our community, state, and nation. While the Governor and I disagree on a number of issues, that is no excuse to be disagreeable.”

A spokesman for Abbott could not immediately be reached for comment late Friday.

Travis County Republican Chairman Matt Mackowiak called Eckhardt’s comments “disgusting” in a statement late Friday.

“Judge Eckhardt apparently believes that his disability is open to ridicule if it helps her make a political argument. This joke represents a profound lack of compassion from Judge Eckhardt,” Mackiowak said.

Judge Eckhardt is one of those “caring” and “compassionate” Democrats who wear their “woke” badges on their puffed-out chests like a badge of honor and yet are some of the most vicious and cruel individuals in the nation who definitely do not practice what they preach.

She also drew attention in 2017 when she wore one of those ridiculous “pussy” hats while sitting on the bench as a protest against Trump.

Democrats and the smug and sanctimonious left are for LGBT rights unless they can take cheap shots at conservatives like the hate night late night TV hosts who regularly engage in the disgusting homophobic smears of Senator Lindsey Graham and Trump.

But to attack a disabled man who lost the use of his legs in the prime of his youth is a new low for these people and Judge Eckhardt gleefully went there.

To the hateful left, it is always “do as I say and not as I do” and no conservative is safe from their sick hypocrisy.
