Tarrant County GOP Disappointed That Trump Endorsed 'RINOs'

Senator Ted Cruz: "The President is going all in on defunding NPR. It's long past time."

State Rep. Brian Harrison: "The Texas House just passed a bill creating a CRIME to... release balloons!! WHAT. THE. HELL. Texans, if your kids let their balloons fly away... HB1904 would CRIMINALIZE that! No, this is not a joke. I wish it were."

Texas House Democrats: "Texas Republicans held public school funding hostage for 5 years to pass vouchers. Greg Abbott promised relief for our schools once it passed. The voucher bill is signed -- but the funding bill is stalled in the Senate. 5.5 million Texas students are still waiting."

State Rep. James Talarico: "Greg Abbott has awakened a bipartisan, pro-public education movement. The same day he signed his billionaire voucher scam into law, Texans rejected anti-public education extremists in school board races across the state. Even in defeat, I see hope. A new movement is beginning."
