Why is Governor Greg Abbott in a Wheelchair?
A Triumph Over Tragedy
Many Texans have wondered why their governor, Greg Abbott, is in a wheelchair. His story is one of triumph over adversity.
A Joking Matter
In 2019, comedian Roy Eckhardt made a joke about Abbott's disability. The joke sparked outrage, but it also shed light on the governor's remarkable story.
The Governor's Story
In 1984, Abbott was jogging when he was struck by a falling tree. The accident left him paralyzed from the waist down. However, Abbott refused to let his disability define him.
He went on to win a seat in the Texas House of Representatives and eventually became governor in 2015. Abbott has used his platform to advocate for the disabled and has worked to make Texas a more accessible state.
Today, Abbott is a living example of how anything is possible with determination and hard work. His story is an inspiration to us all.
