Hours after approximately 50 people were killed at a Florida LGBT nightclub in what federal officials are investigating as an act of terrorism, the Lieutenant Governor of Texas is receiving backlash after tweeting a verse from the Bible.
About 7 a.m. Sunday Dan Patrick tweeted a photo with the words of Galatians 6: 7. The verse reads, "Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows."
