Ted Nugent rant puts Texas Republicans in a bind
WASHINGTON - Ted Nugent’s racist rant against the president has put Texas Republicans in a bind especially Attorney General Greg Abbott.
So far, Abbott has resisted pressure to repudiate Nugent for calling Barack Obama, the nation’s first black president, a “subhuman mongrel.” Others have put distance between themselves and Nugent.

Aside from his support for Abbott, Nugent also serves as treasurer and co-chairman for Sid Miller’s campaign for agriculture commissioner.
Miller strategist and spokesman Todd Smith said Miller might not “use those same words to describe the president” but shares a “mutual disdain” for his policies.
“We are not going to do anything to distance ourselves from Ted Nugent,” he said.
