Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) rejects Donald Trump's use of Federal military to quell protests: 'Texans can take care of Texans'

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) signaled that he won't seek federal military assistance from President Trump as demonstrations sparked by the police killing of George Floyd continue in the state and across the country.

“We will not be asking the United States military to come into the state of Texas because we know the Texans can take care of Texas,” Abbott said at a news conference Tuesday.
