Two of Texas' top Republicans took part Saturday in a protest of Gov. Greg Abbott's coronavirus restrictions outside the Governor's Mansion, a striking display of intraparty defiance three days before early voting begins for a momentous November election.

The "Free Texas" rally featured speeches from Texas GOP Chair Allen West and Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller, both of whom invoked the governor critically. At one point, Miller turned toward the mansion with a message for Abbott.

"Quite frankly, governor, your cure is worse than the disease," Miller said.

West, who took over the party in July and has been an open critic of some of Abbott's coronavirus decisions, read a resolution that the State Republican Executive Committee passed last month. The resolution tells Abbott: "No Exceptions, No Delays….Open Texas NOW."
