Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick called protesters who ran away from the hail of bullets that rained down on Downtown Dallas on Thursday night "hypocrites" during an interview Friday on Fox News.
"All those protesters last night, they turned around and ran the other way expecting the men and women in blue to protect them. What hypocrites!" an audibly emotional Patrick said.

It also sounds like he's been letting Louie Gohmert write his speeches for him.

Patrick is a fundy nutcase, even worse than Abbot.

(82,849 posts)The shooting went on for a long time. Where was the Lt. Gov.? Why wasn't he on the scene, as the second-highest elected official in all of Texas? Was he sleeping? Why wasn't the Texas Air National Guard scrambled? Did Patrick issue a stand down order? Can he prove he didn't?
Hypocrite.

and let's be clear. people aren't marching because they don't want police. they are marching because they don't want the police to murder them.
