Allen West Goes Biblical on Democrats Moving to Texas From NY: Same as When God Was Destroying Sodom and GomorrahAfter Democrats made tremendous inroads, coming close to turning Texas blue, former one-term GOP Congressman Allen West is warning Democrats moving to his new state of Texas to throw away their political beliefs. West, an Islamophobic, homophobic, controversial Tea Partier who fled the military and once attacked Democratic members of Congress in a McCarthyesque lie, is now the chairman of the Lone Star states Republican Party.
In a Friday Fox and Friends segment on control of the U.S. Senate, which will be determined by the Georgia January 5 runoff election. the hosts talked about Democrats leaving New York and California to move to Texas or Florida.
Co-host Ainsley Earhardt served up a blanket assumption that the sole reason Democrats would move to those two states are because of lower taxes, which is false. She then insisted they should change their party affiliation to Republican.
The entire purpose appeared to be a warning to Democrats, in an effort keep GOP control of those critical battleground states.

(39 posts)4. His sermons resonate with the Christian Evangelicals here.
My fear is he will successfully primary Governor Abbott, and if Texas is not blue enough by 2022 we could
wind up with Allen West as governor.
I listened to one of his sermons; he is a very good speaker. I worry his message of how to equalize economic disparity is
not being taken seriously enough.
