Greg Abbott Fights Harder For Donald Trump Than He Ever Has For Texans
AUSTIN, Texas – Texas Democratic Party Chairman Kendall Scudder released the following statement on the Texas House issuing 24/7 DPS surveillance to members who did a constitutionally protected quorum break, and Representative Nicole Collier’s brave stand against it:
“I hope y’all see how much effort and determination Greg Abbott is willing to put into defending Donald Trump, an effort that he has never made for Texans. Dustin Burrows and Greg Abbott are taking cops off the beat to stalk their political opponents. Why aren’t Greg Abbott’s police following Republicans who are sitting on their hands and refusing to pass flood relief in this state? If anyone is getting locked in the legislative chamber and held against their will, it should be these Republican politicians until they pass flood relief, since it doesn’t seem they’ll ever do it otherwise!
“Nicole Collier is standing up to this brazen abuse of power and fighting for what is right. Republicans are turning this country of liberty and freedom into a police state, and if you don’t think you’re next, you’re mistaken. Standing with Nicole Collier means standing on the side of liberty against a tyrannical, oppressive government that forces dissenting voices into submission.
“Thank you for standing up for what is right, Rep. Collier. The Texas Democratic Party and Democrats nationwide support you. Donald Trump and Greg Abbott will rue the day they trample on the liberty of free Texans.”
