Allen West says Biden will castigate Republicans as racists (Video)

The Texas Legislature’s 2021 session just kicked off and there is already pressure to steer away from the group's 2019 “purple session” and move into a more conservative and principle direction.

Texas GOP Chairman Allen West sat down with Texas Politics to discuss how Texas Republicans are looking for legislators to pass more conservative-minded measures.

West also says that he’s not buying President Joe Biden and the Democratic Party’s push for “unity," saying that Republicans and Conservatives were going to “castigated and demonized” as racists if they did not conform with Biden's agenda.

“When I listen to President  Biden’s speech, unity to them means conforming and basically if you are not in agreement with them, their ideological agenda then you have to be defeated,” said West. “That's exactly what he said yesterday, so you know everyone is going to be castigated and demonizes as a white supremacist or racist, or what have you, and even a person like me Joe Biden’s already said that I'm not really black since I didn't vote for him."

I know that there are a lot of people in the Republican Party of Texas that were not happy with the last legislative session, they called it a purple session, so we cannot continue down that path.

And I think that's the key thing to understand right now.

When you look at the Democratic Party, this is not a part that is really talking about unity.

When I listen to President  Biden’s speech, unity to them means conforming and basically, if you are not in agreement with them, their ideological agenda then you have to be defeated.

That's exactly what he said yesterday, so you know everyone is going to be castigated and demonizes as a white supremacist or racist, or what have you, and even a person like me Joe Biden’s already said that I'm not really black since I didn't vote for him.

 So that's the bucket that they're going to put everyone in, if you're conservative we're not looking to unify with you were looking to crush you, we’re looking to defeat you, but when we have a state like Texas, when we have states that are controlled by you know the state legislatures in Republican hands we have to pass conservative legislative priorities and agenda items to keep our state safe and strong.
