(145,595 posts)1. Dewhurst claims that he saw jars of poop and urine
Dewhurst's claim to have seen jars of poop and urine has fallen apart http://blog.chron.com/texaspolitics/2013/07/dewhurst-its-not-a-question-of-what-i-saw-or-didnt-see/
Dewhurst said his only sighting of the items occurred not at the entrance to the third-floor Senate gallery but on the ground floor. He said that he believes the DPS.
Its not a question of what I saw or didnt see. I just happened to see people at the gate on the East side being stopped, and in a couple of cases I didnt think about it at the time, but they pointed out that they had, if they had suspicious-looking containers and bottles of stuff, feces in bags, that they asked them to throw it out rather than to carry it in, he said.
He said he saw people that were pitching things three or four times.
I saw them throwing it away. The DPS told me what it was. They put out a press release that Friday night. And I have no reason to doubt their veracity, and neither should Ms. Howard, Dewhurst said.
No one at the DPS is really backing up Dewhurst's claims.

I would prefer a more reliable source than either.

pun intended
Dewhurst was supposed to be bolstered by the special sessions, instead he was besmeared with lots of pooo.
