Gov. Abbott: Texas Dems Are Filibustering in D.C. While Pushing to Abolish It in the Senate

EXCERPT:

ABBOTT: “What’s going on in Texas with regard to this election law we are trying to pass, as you pointed out very perfectly, we are adding hours to vote, not subtracting hours to vote. Everything we are doing is perfectly legal. The only other thing I would add is the hypocrisy of the Democrats from Texas, as well as in Washington, D.C., because one thing the Democrats from Texas are trying to achieve in Washington, D.C., they are trying to get the United States Senate to drop their filibuster rule. Well, think about this. What the Texas Democrats are doing, they are filibustering in Texas to try to get the Washington, D.C. Democrats to stop the filibuster rule. That is the height of hypocrisy. All they want to do is complain. They want to spread false information about what the law really does. I can guarantee you, based upon what you said in your monologue, as well as what the facts are, there is zero chance that the Texas law, when it does get passed, will be overturned by a court of law, because what we’re doing is perfectly constitutional."
