that would have expanded the charges under which judges could deny bail outright.
I mean, this last session, it was a proverbial s---show, from the standpoint of taking false allegations of a voter fraud issue, and then turning it into a voter suppression bill. And I just think that's counter to what most people would think that a democracy would want. I want to maximize the number of people voting, not minimize it. And I think those efforts are going to hurt Republicans as much as Democrats.
A good example is our lieutenant governor's race. I mean, it’s crazy that Dan Patrick gets reelected. And the only reason he gets reelected is because the Republican Party and the Democratic Party — it's heresy if you cross over, you say anything … derogatory about him or you won’t support him. Well, I know a lot of Republicans that aren't supporting him. Some have come out.
Editor’s note: In 2019, Patrick supported House Bill 3, which pumped about $6.5 billion of new spending into public education. The bill raised the state’s share of public education funding from 38 percent to 45 percent, lawmakers said at the time. Earlier this year, Patrick said “We can support school choice and, at the same time, create the best public education system in America. These issues are not in conflict with each other.
