Bun B Blasts Greg Abbott’s Handling of Power Outages: ‘Texas Deserves Better Than This’

Rapper Bun B has lashed out at Texas Governor Greg Abbott for falsely blaming the state's blackouts on renewable energy.The Houston rapper—whose real name is Bernard James Freeman—condemned Abbott specifically for his appearance on Fox News in which the Republican took the opportunity to criticize the proposed Green New Deal.The Port Arthur-based musician added to his one million followers: "And you blame renewable energy, which is only 10% of the energy in this state? Texas deserves better than this @governorabbott so get off Fox TV and get the power back on!"Texas is entering into another day of blackouts, with millions of residents lefts freezing without any power or supplies, as the state's infrastructure struggles to cope with severe weather conditions—some 2.7 million households were still without power as of Wednesday morning this week.Bun B shared a photo of an article from The Week with the headline: "Texas governor blamed renewable energy for blackouts on Fox News. He told Texans a different story."Texas gets just 10 percent of its energy from solar and wind sources.During his appearance on Sean Hannity's show, Abbott spoke about the disaster but said that the Green New Deal would cause such power issues in the future.Rapper
