Shelley Luther's attacks on Gov. Greg Abbott in Texas Senate race open up new front in GOP civil war

STEPHENVILLE — Metal chairs scraped the floor after Shelley Luther urged her audience to scoot closer. None of the roughly three dozen voters that came to see her Tuesday night wore a mask inside The Purple Goat restaurant. But that didn’t matter.

Luther, whose refusal to shutter her Dallas hair salon launched her into the national spotlight, has built her campaign for state Senate on defying COVID-19 shutdown orders.

She pitched herself to the crowd as a normal person like them, who would take their fight to Austin, even if it means going up against the state’s Republican leader.

“I’m embarrassed that we’ve been shut down that long, that our tyrant governor has embarrassed us completely,” she said.

The overt attacks on Gov. Greg Abbott — a relatively popular Republican who has largely avoided opposition from within his own party — signals a new chapter in the state’s GOP civil war.

2. That horrible woman is running for office?

With such a scorn for the law? And her stunt with Ted Cruz?
Claiming she HAD to keep her salon open when she'd received a bailout check--but claimed she didn't know what to do with it?

I counted at least 3 GoFundMes for her, even though she was breaking the law by opening her business and making her employees come to work.

Going to donate to her opponent now:
