The Texas GOP cares so much about its voters that it was willing to allow them to gather in ill-advised close proximity for its state convention.
Party leaders, meanwhile, planned to speak to them via teleconference.
Nothing like calling it in to save your own skin.
On July 8, “…the operator of Houston’s George R. Brown Convention Center canceled the Texas GOP convention.” Even though the in-person convention has been cancelled (not by the Texas GOP, mind you), its message couldn’t have been more clear –
“We’re going to let you plebes gather together and infect each other with a deadly virus. We’ll give our speeches from afar to protect ourselves. Sound good?”
Or, to put it more bluntly – “We don’t care if some of you get sick and others die.”
The most frightening thing about that is not that the GOP leadership is willing to endanger its own people, but that so many of those people would have participated anyway.
Good grief.
