He’s right — you don’t have to look hard to see that Beto is spot on in his description of Texas Republican leaders. In just the last year, lone star authoritarians have targeted abortion rights, the ballot box, and LGBTQ families.
Last week Beto O’Rourke called Texas Governor Greg Abbott a “thug” and an “authoritarian”.
You don’t have to look hard to find his proof — just earlier this month 27,000 Texans had their ballots rejected as a direct result of Greg Abbott’s new voter suppression law.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott is abusing his power by attacking our voting rights, a woman’s right to make health care decisions, and he just signed a new law to encourage hatred towards LGBTQ communities.
His campaign’s excuse? It polls well with conservative voters.
