Mediaite reports:
The Texas Republican Party put out an odd message on Twitter Friday that immediately sparked a wave of criticism. The tweet read, “If you can wait in line for a covid test, you can wait in line to vote.” The Texas GOP employees behind the account took note of the fast reaction to the tweet and followed up with two replies.
“Wow, this made the pronouns in bio people big mad,” read the first reply. “Masks are dumb,” was the second reply the Texas GOP sent out into the world.
The tweet appeared to be a defense of legislation Texas Republicans passed last year, Senate Bill 1, which limited absentee voting, banned 24-hour and drive-thru voting and stopped candidates from sending unsolicited mail-voting applications.

I see the Texas GOP has chosen to run on the very populist platform of “you should wait on long lines for everything.” https://t.co/7KX9ZPRxsj

I thought this was a fake account. Nope. This is the Texas GOP. They will further radicalize and weaponize. https://t.co/BElJ9u5xaM

This should embarrass you @GregAbbott_TX.
76,000 Texans have died on your watch.
1/5 of Texas health care workers have quit their jobs during the pandemic because you completely abandoned them.
We don’t need memes, we need leaders committed to keeping Texans from dying. https://t.co/Qv1vanKter

From the same people who thought: let’s sacrifice grandparents to Covid to save the economy and the best way to escape a winter storm is to take your family to Cancun while Texas citizens melt snow to flush toilets & freeze to death. #GOPDoesntCareAboutYou @texasdemocrats https://t.co/PDkPYR2IaI
