Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick: I really hope this fool got severe blowback for his comments

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/03/im-all-in-texas-republican-urges-fox-news-viewers-to-risk-their-lives-so-coronavirus-closures-end/

Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, 69, suggested on Fox News that grandparents should be willing to risk their lives to end COVID-19 coronavirus closures.

Patrick, a Baby Boomer grandfather himself, made his comments while being interviewed by Tucker Carlson on Fox News.





In all my years of observing politics and being an American citizen, this is THE MOST MORALLY HEINOUS thing I've ever seen a public official say.

Granted, I may be forgetting some idiot mayor saying some neo-Nazi thing, but this fool is LT. GOVERNOR OF TEXAS.

who are exposing themselves as monsters by voicing their support of Trump's genocidal policy. These "let people die so the stock market will go back up" will make great ads as we approach November.
