Texas Lt Gov Threatens To Remove Biden From Ballot

The Daily Beast reports:

Dan Patrick, the Republican lieutenant governor of Texas, threatened on Tuesday to remove President Joe Biden from his state’s ballot—seemingly as retribution for a Colorado Supreme Court ruling which booted former President Donald Trump from that state’s 2024 presidential race for engaging in an insurrection on Jan. 6.

Patrick made the comments on Fox News, justifying the potentially unprecedented action to host Laura Ingraham as a response to Biden’s border policies. The only thing stopping him, he said, was that people in Texas “believe in democracy.”

“Seeing what happened in Colorado makes me think—except we believe in democracy in Texas—maybe we should take Joe Biden off the ballot in Texas for allowing eight million people to cross the border since he’s been president disrupting our state,” Patrick said.
