STAFF REPORT
McALLEN, Texas | Texas Gov. Greg Abbott does have some support. Pretty much every Republican Party member has endorsed his harsh, brutish anti-migrant actions at the Mexican border. One of them is State Rep. Matt Scheaffer of Tyler (shown in photo above).
His quote: "If in fact @GregAbbott_TX is taking a bolder approach to border security by directing DPS troopers to repel illegal crossers, he has my full support," Scheaffer tweeted. "Every Republican legislator should be speaking up as Dems and the media try to shame Abbott into backing down."
Back down from inhumane policies, from erecting fencing made of razor wire and installing a mid-river string of buoys? That approach, Matt? Children hurt, cut and missing in the waters of the Rio Grande? Women pushed back into the river?
Yeah, that.
Today's Republicans love to hate.
The political pendulum, however, always swings back...
