Texas Governor Greg Abbott Has Beer Summit with TMZ, and It’s Not Pretty

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has overcome a lot in his life — suffering a catastrophic injury as a young adult — so he was more than amused listening to our TMZ DC guy agonizing over whether to accept a beer because of his Gen Z stomach issues.

Jacob made it to the Governor’s mansion in Austin Friday night, and Abbott was more than hospitable, offering our TMZ DC Managing Editor a brewski. Jacob, among many other things, is gluten-free, so he resisted.

BTW … the same thing happened in Detroit a few days earlier with Michigan senatorial candidate Abdul El-Sayed … same stomach excuses — it’s hilarious.

Back to Abbott — now that there’s an opening for White House Press Secretary, the Governor says he thinks he’s got the perfect replacement. HINT: Abbott’s looking at him.

In the end, Jacob chugs it down and leaves satisfied.
