MSNBC host Joy Reid suggested a lawmaker is taking Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s (R) plan for undocumented migrants and making it even worse.
During an episode of her show Thursday night, Reid played a clip from a press conference Abbott held on Wednesday.
“Texas is providing charter buses to send these illegal immigrants who’ve been dropped off by the Biden administration to Washington D.C.,” Abbott said.
He added, “We are sending them to the United States Capitol, where the Biden administration will be able to more immediately address the needs of the people that they are allowing to come across our border.”
Reid suggested it should not be surprising “given how he treats the people in his own state.”
She went on to list a number of actions Abbott has taken to address gender-affirming care, abortion, border security, and COVID-19.
“All of this is extremely poor governance on Abbott’s part,” Reid said. “But somehow, somehow, another Texan was able to take Abbott’s idea and make it even douchier.”
Reid went on to show a clip of Fox News’s interview with Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas).
Watch her comments below:
“Now, he says that he’s gonna send them to the U.S. Capitol,” Crenshaw said. “I would kindly ask the governor to also consider sending them to Kamala Harris’ house.”
