TX Gov Falls For Fake Story About “Woke” Garth Brooks

June 26, 2023 Idiocracy, Republicans

The Huffington Post reports:

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott took his Twitter feed to some low places over the weekend when he was duped by a satire website into sharing literal fake news about country music icon Garth Brooks.

Abbott linked to a story about Brooks from a satire website called The Dunning-Kruger Times. If the name alone isn’t enough of a giveaway, the site states outright that it’s part of “a network of parody, satire, and tomfoolery.

The story Abbott shared says Brooks was booed off the stage at the 123rd Annual Texas Country Jamboree in Hambriston, Texas. But the jamboree isn’t a real event, and Hambriston isn’t a real place. “Go woke. Go broke,” Abbott tweeted. “Good job, Texas.”

Abbott has deleted his tweet but as always, the internet is forever. Garth Brooks has long been publicly pro-LGBTQ, which these days qualifies as “woke.” As for “broke” – his estimated net worth is over $400 million.
