OAN Promotes Texas Secessionist Movement [VIDEO]

Media Matters has the transcript:

Daniel Miller (President, Texas Nationalist Movement): Well, look, I’ve been advocating for the independence of Texas since 1996. It made sense then. It makes even more sense now. And it’s simply this.

Texans are sick and tired of living under 180, 180,000 pages of federal laws, rules, and regulations administered by two and a half million unelected federal bureaucrats.

We’re tired of watching the federal government intentionally collapse our southern border, put our children into fiscal child abuse via piling on more and more debt, and waking up every single solitary morning wondering which of our rights are going to be under attack today.

So it’s time, beyond time, for Texans to be able to have a say in our future, and to ask that question, should the state of Texas reassert its status as an independent nation?

Miller and the OAN host go on to attack Texas v White, the 1869 Supreme Court ruling that the Constitution forbids states to secede. Earlier this month far-right Texas GOP state Rep. Bryan Slaton filed a bill that would force a statewide referendum on secession.
