So this just happened. The Texas Republican Speaker of the House has come out against Nazis, saying that Nazis should not be meeting with their donors, and if they do, that it's very uh un-American. Now, his base has come out and are asking for him to resign over this. Now, if you're wondering what the heck is going on,
here's a good news cut upon the inner troubles that we have within the Republican Party in Texas right now. They want the Texas House to look like what just happened in Washington, DC. They want crisis. They want chaos. That's where they thrive. They want a situation where five or six of them
are deciding it for the entire chamber, the entire body for all 30 million Texans. You have a choice right now. Uh just like with the impeachment. Uh choose, you know, uh integrity and political political courage, and we're gonna turn our back to corruption and do the right thing. And now there's another line in the sand.
That other line in the sand came last Friday when the Texas Tribune reported Nick Fuentes, a well-known white supremacist who's called for a holy war against Jews, had a six-hour meeting in the office of Jonathan Sticklin, president of Defend Texas Liberty Pack. The speaker and almost 60 members of the House Republican caucus called for lawmakers to disavow the group and return the millions they've donated.
I reject an individual who denies the Holocaust, as someone who who supports you know Aryan Brotherhood. It should be easy for Republicans to do that, and I've yet to see some of these individuals do that. And that's on them. It's not me. I haven't taken a dime from these people, and I never will.
Defend Texas Liberty Pack is Attorney General Ken Paxton's largest donor by far. And they vocally pressured state senators to acquit him because of his conservative efforts. Before that trial, the group also gave Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick as presiding judge a one million dollar donation and a two million dollar loan.
