But Dan Patrick is also “joking” for clout, otherwise, he’d just be disrespecting the US Constitution due to political agenda interference. Then again, the GOP is known to act as mere children in their politics and their followers are known to eat that shit right up to ‘own the libs’.
Yeah, we all know he wasn’t joking. He probably said it before somebody pointed out that it’s against his state constitution to do so. And even if he already knew it was against the constitution, he could have said it just to garner support from his deplorables.
