Well, Texas Governor Greg Abbott was confronted directly by a reporter who asked him who was to blame for the tragedy, and his comments are going viral:

The governor was quick to request federal assistance last week after devastating floods hit the Texas Hill Country.

Four days have passed since anyone was found alive in the aftermath of the floods in Kerr County, Texas, officials said Tuesday.

The special session agenda includes 18 legislative priorities, with several directly addressing the recent disaster.

Ninety-six of those killed were in the hardest-hit county in central Texas, Kerr County, where the toll includes at least 36 children. State officials vowed to continue searching for over 160 people still missing but have acknowledged the dwindling chances of finding survivors alive a week after the disaster.

In the Austin area, 12 people are still missing and 16 are known to have perished after rain swept away homes along rivers and creeks.

Greg Abbott is directing lawmakers returning to Austin this month to improve early warning systems and emergency communication in flood-prone areas and redraw the state's congressional districts in an effort to bolster Republicans in the midterms.

Texas offers Disaster Unemployment Assistance to those affected by severe storms and flooding as per Governor Abbott's declaration.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says the state was ready with assets on the ground, but didn’t realize the magnitude of the oncoming deadly floods.

S an Antonio anchor Stephania Jimenez fumed Saturday over a press conference that featured Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott thanking each other and President Donald Trump instead of giving immediate updates on the lethal floods in central Texas.
