In our 50th episode of This F*cking Guy, Crooked’s Julia Claire joins Erin to dive deep into the past of the Lone Star Loser, Greg Abbott. From targeting minorities with “voter fraud” to his hypocritical support of tort reform, to handing out government grants to campaign donors, to his war on d*ldos and draconian abortion laws, this may be one of our most crooked guys, yet!
