Tucker Carlson wanted to have Greg Abbott on to discuss a pardon for Daniel Perry, but Abbott wanted no part in that discussion.

Meanwhile you have Republicans who are willfully ignorant of the realities of our legal system pushing "bipartisan" legislation to require a mandatory minimum of 10 years in prison for felonies involving a gun.

Update: Governor Abbott claims he will pardon Daniel Perry.

"I am working as swiftly as Texas law allows regarding the pardon of Sgt. Perry," the Texas Republican tweeted Saturday along with a statement on how his office will go about a pardon.

Abbott said in his tweet that pardons in Texas must be recommended by the Board of Pardons and Paroles.

"I have made that request and instructed the board to expedite its review," Abbott said.

I'll remain skeptical until it is a done deal. I could see this just being lip service, talk tough but then quietly letting the board deny the request so Abbott can claim "I tried."
