Republicans In Texas State House Vote To Support Racism

Last night, under cover of darkness, Briscoe Cain pushed SB7 through the election committee without any public testimony. You have to see this jaw-dropping moment when State Representative Jessica González introduced amendments that specifically would have protected Black and brown people from these racist voter suppression laws. Every single Republican on the committee voted against it. All five of them.

Briscoe Cain, Travis Clardy, Jacey Jetton, Mike Schofield, and Valoree Swanson all stood a stand last night. They support racism. Period.

I called Phelan's office yesterday and gave him an earful.

I put this on Phelan. Phelan appointed Cain, knowing exactly who he is.

Without Phelan, Cain would still be the pariah of the House!
