Earlier this week, before the story about President Biden restarting border wall construction that began under Donald Trump, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott -- who actually is doing something to secure the border -- tweeted this:

Another day, another Krassenstein claim bites the dust.
Melugin just schooled Ed, and I'm here for it! 🤣 https://t.co/2iHXU9whZo

Somebody had to do it!
“This guy has no idea what he is talking about” when applied to a Krassenstein is pretty evergreen.
