‘Sit down and shut up’: Lina Hidalgo’s office claims Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick berated her at police funeral


While Texans braced for a winter storm this week with looming fears of another potential collapse of the state's electrical grid, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick had other concerns.

The GOP leader took to Twitter to corroborate claims made in a video posted by the National Fraternal Order of Police that criticized Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo for where she chose to stand during a Tuesday memorial service for slain officer Corporal Charles Galloway. The Harris County Pct. 5 deputy was shot and killed during a traffic stop on Jan. 23.

"This video is 100% accurate," Patrick said in a tweet Thursday sharing the video. "I was there. What you’ll see is a shocking display of disruptive and disgraceful behavior by @LinaHidalgoTX during the funeral of a peace officer killed in the line of duty. She is unfit for office. The people deserve better."

Patrick's post has garnered hundreds of retweets in support. However, many users were quick to call Patrick a hypocrite, suggesting he was the one politicizing the officer’s funeral by using the video as a platform to make a "partisan attack" against Hidalgo.
