Texas GOP Chairman Allen West says Texas should secede, become own planet [View all]
Texas GOP Chairman Allen West has amped up his calls for Texas to secede, but not just from the United States. The Tea Party firebrand wants the Lone Star State to become its own cosmic body.
It is absolutely possible, West insists. I recently saw a documentary called Avengers: Age of Ultron. This robot man was able to lift a country called Sokovia into space. But a group of super-power supremacists kidnapped all the people and destroyed it before they could get free of the atmosphere. I dont think well have that problem. Texans love our guns just as much as our freedom, and we have plenty of Mossberg tactical shotguns and AR-15s to defend ourselves.
West first started talking about secession after the 2020 presidential election. He's openly supported a bill allowing Texans to vote whether to break free of the United States.
No one takes me or Texit seriously, West said. But thats going to change once they see that weve become our own freedom-, fossil fuel- and Second Amendment-loving planet.
