Texas Lt. Governor Is Determined to Sacrifice Everyone but Himself for GOP Convention

Nobody howled louder than Texas Lt. Gov Dan Patrick when Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner barred the state GOP from holding its convention there amid a COVID-19 explosion.

“This is nothing but a political hack job by Mayor Turner,” Patrick told Laura Ingraham on Fox News.

Patrick failed to mention that he and Gov. Greg Abbott and various other GOP elected officials had earlier opted out of actually joining the 6,000 party stalwarts who signed up for the July 16th gathering at the George R. Brown Convention center. They had instead planned to address the gathering via video.

“All the elected officials are switching from a live, in-person speech to videos,” state GOP executive director Kyle Whatley said during a virtual town hall on Tuesday night. “They’re doing that for us in order to focus all the attention on the business of the meeting and to get everybody in and out of here as quickly and as safely as possible.”

That's right Dan. People are getting sick and dying just to make you and Trump look bad.
