Social media users roasted Gov. Greg Abbott on the 42nd anniversary of the accident that left him paralyzed from the waist down - not to mock his disability but for his actions that made it harder for other injured Texans to file lawsuits.

On Monday, Abbott, who's locked in a reelection battle against Democratic State Rep. Gina Hinojosa, shared an X post commemorating the anniversary of a tree falling on him while he was on a jog in Houston - an injury that requires him to use a wheelchair.

Sign up "My parents instilled in me the values that carried me through my darkest days: hard work, perseverance, and faith in God," Abbott wrote.
