After President Joe Biden announced his withdrawal from the presidential race, Texas Republicans Gov. Greg Abbott and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick wasted no time spinning conspiracy theories and lobbing attacks at Vice President Kamala Harris.
Abbott suggested that the Democratic Party deliberately sabotaged the president, while Patrick tweeted that Biden's exit was orchestrated by former President Obama.
In tweets fired off shortly after the announcement, Abbott insinuated that Biden's poor performance at the first presidential debate last month was part of a shadowy Democratic party coup to force the incumbent to drop from the race. Abbott didn't stop there, though. The governor then argued that Biden should be forced from the presidency if he's"unfit" to run for a second term.
A change in the oval office is essential – immediately – to ensure the safety of Americans and the security of our country.Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, a former right-wing talk show host, took it a step further, suggesting in a tweet that former President Barrack Obama orchestrated a deep-state conspiracy to seek an illegitimate shot at the Oval Office.
