AUSTIN Gov. Greg Abbott has been raising the devil over recent reports of sexual abuse involving unaccompanied migrant minors, but when asked why he didn t make a peep about similar concerns during the Trump administration, the governor sidestepped.

As dodges go, that one on April 11 fell on the short side of artful. It suggested the governor is only obliged to condemn child abuse when it s brought to the attention of an agency operated by the state he governs.
