Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick is a racist and is mad that people are calling him a racist

Dan Patrick is a racist asshole who is busy pushing proposals to suppress the vote. The only reasons for these proposals is to make it hard for minorities to vote. In particular Dan Patrick the racist is mad at Harris County for authorizing drive through voting and 24 hour voting. Dan is mad that people know that he is a racist and are calling him a racist



In an angry press conference Tuesday, yelling at times, Patrick objected to suggestions that Republicans are deliberately targeting voters of color in Democratic strongholds.

"Senate Bill 7 is about voter security, not about voter suppression, and I'm tired of the lies and the nest of liars who continue to repeat them," Patrick said, focusing much of his ire on Fort Worth-based American Airlines and Harris County leaders who spoke up against the bill.

He continued: “You’re questioning my integrity and the integrity of the governor and the integrity of the 18 Republicans who voted for this when you suggest that we’re trying to suppress the vote. You are, in essence, between the lines, calling us racist, and that will not stand.”

As they successfully shepherded SB 7 through the Senate over the last two weeks, Republicans argued that it is a race-neutral bill, not designed to discriminate, in part because the state’s voter rolls are “color blind” and voters don’t list their race or ethnicity when they register.

Dan needs to get used to being called a racist.

If no one called you a racist, but reading between the lines suggests you are a racist, methinks only those who know they are racists recognize they're being called racists.

If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck....
