Repuke Texas Rep. posts despicable cartoon




As wildfires burned in Southern California, scorching thousands of acres and destroying hundreds of homes, a politician from the Lone Star state posted a picture of an cartoon state of Texas grinning and kicking California in its nether regions. He was trying to whip up Texas conservatives against left coast liberals.


“Hey California, heard a picture is worth a thousand words. TEXAS Let’s see if it’s also worth a 1,000+LIKES…” State Representative Pat Fallon said on his campaign’s Facebook page Wednesday.


Worth noting that when Fallon's district suffered flooding due to Hurricane Harvey, first responders FROM California were there to help.

Sometimes "I'm just an idiot" isn't much of a justification for keeping your job.

Whenever they want to stir up the crowd, they find something or someone to attack. The most common victims are liberals and the Clintons.

I really don't understand that mindset.
