Is Lt. Governor Dan Patrick A White Supremacist? [View all]
We've gotten used to Republicans saying the quiet parts out loud, but do we ever stop and think about the ideology behind their words?

In 2020, Dan Patrick went on TV and said the economy was more important than your life. In 2020, he said at CPAC that “God wrote the Constitution.” Dan Patrick has a history of saying off-the-wall, wacky, and hateful things. However, over the last year, I’ve noticed he’s turned the volume way up. You aren’t going to believe what he’s been saying on Fox News this week. But first, the backstory.
A federal judge in Texas in March upheld an essential piece of President Joe Biden’s immigration policy. The policy allows a limited number of migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to enter the US on humanitarian grounds. Texas and 20 other states had sued, arguing the program is forcing them to spend millions on health care, education, and public safety for the migrants. They lost that suit on humanitarian grounds.
Earlier this week, the Daily Mail published an article that stated that the majority of these asylum seekers are being flown into Florida and Texas.
(As a reminder, the Daily Mail is a far-right publication.)
