What should be investigated is how this twit got elected to anything more than dog-catcher. Wait a minute–I like dogs.
More important for the next AG: Investigate the indicted Texas AG for possible federal violations.
Nothing new here. Fox is a willing host of Patrick’s lies about BLM. J Edgar Hoover did the same thing to MLK.
If only there was an amendment that didn’t allow the prosecution of people for mere speech by the government (especially without proof). Dammit!
Investigate it for what, you fascist asshole?
No one was chanting “kill the cops.” The BLM movement has matured greatly and has shown a lot of discipline,and restraint as of late much to their credit.
“We know we have a distrust in the black community of police.”
And the way we fix that is to criminally investigate anyone who criticizes police.
Patrick said on Fox News. “I understand the First Amendment. I understand freedom of speech, and I defend it. It is in our Constitution and is in our soul, but you can’t go out on social media and mainstream media and everywhere else and say that the police are racist or police are hateful or the police are killers.”
Um, actually the 1st Amendment says you can say those things, so let me FIFY.
Patrick said on Fox News. "I don't understand the First Amendment. I don't understand freedom of speech,............"
it seems that scared Texans wanna equate BLM, an unfortunate acronym because I keep thinking Bureau of Land Management first, with the real Black Panther movement which really seems to translate to…
scary black people demanding their rights and equal justice…
Remember the success Texas had investigating Planned Parenthood?
Shorter Gelb: Calling for HRC’s assassination is just free speech. Calling for white cops to stop shooting unarmed blacks deserves an Inquisition
Oh no, don’t you get it? That Amendment only applies to white guys. With guns. And none of the Amendments apply to blacks/minorities, especially any in the White House.
Maybe we’d better put all of their members into some kind of “protective custody” while you conduct this investigation, amirite? We could build some kind of Special Temporary Custodial Facilities for them in the desert. You know, nothin’ fancy, just some razor wire and a few machine gun towers and those perfectly good Bush-era FEMA trailers that didn’t get used over some silly liberal “formaldehyde” nonsense. If they done nonthin’ wrong, they got nothin’ to fear!
For not supporting the Republican Party’s delusions, lies and hate speech. After all, that’s what they have wanted to investigate, try, and execute Hillary Clinton for doing. The GOP demands the imprisonment of anyone who does not goose step behind them.
“The President has to speak out against that…”
Anytime any right-wing racist nut spews that ignorance after the blatant fact that the president has spoken out after every cop-killing (as opposed to a recent white ex-president who danced at a memorial service for the Dallas cops), his mic should be cut/pulled immediately.
As best I can tell, the way Texas works is that they elect some truly awful shitstain governor and then, lest people think that that’s as bad as it can get, they elect someone even more awful lt. governor. And then eventually the lt. governor becomes governor and they find someone even worse to be lt. governor. And apparently, they think this is all okay because they have one of the least powerful governors in the Union.
As hard as it is to walk and chew gum at the same time, the AG should stuff a sock in his racist, bigoted mouth. We are tired of try to ‘explain’ that BLM wants the same ‘policing’ as YOU DO you old white fraud and that has nothing to do with ‘blue lives’.
Dan Patrick has a consistent history of radical Christian terrorism.
“The President has to speak out against that and the President needs to stop inviting people to the White House who say they want to kill cops,” Patrick said Tuesday, not specifying what White House guest he was referring to. More made up shit.
