Monday evening,"Those of us who are 70-plus, we'll take care of ourselves, but don't sacrifice the country. Don't do that. Don't ruin this great American dream."
Patrick, who acknowledged he is a grandfather, was 100 percent echoing the President's sentiment during an earlier briefing on coronavirus. Trump says he's strongly considering ending social distancing after just 2 weeks.POTUS stressed he wants to get America back up and running. Of course, the problem with that is several hundred Americans could be dying EVERY day at that point ... due to the spread of the virus.
Still, if the President proceeds ... you can count in grandpa Patrick, who says he's willing to risk dying --"We can't lose our whole country, we're having an economic collapse."
Wow...Showing so much respect to his god isn't he now? Telling god theres more important things than life 🤣🥂... GodScrewedUp FakeChristian YallGoingToHell 🤣 GOP TXGOPCaucus
There is something very wrong with this
WAIT WHAT?
Pray for us Texans cs idk what tha fuck is gonna happen now
Idiot!!!
Hey TMZ WHY HAVEN'T U POSTED THE SCREW UPS THE BIDEN HAS BEEN DOING .... THERE ARE SEVERAL OUT THERE TO TALK ABOUT. BUT YET U WANNA CONTINUE TO BRING DOWN THE GOP. TRUMP 2020!!!
Sir, you are some kind of crazy! Are you volunteering to be first?
Well if he gets it we expect him to be the first to prove his point!! Jerk!
Interesting he n Trump are at the high in because of age. But the thing is they are rich and has doctors following them so any sign will get them testing and treatment before dying. Maybe first expose both of them to the virus first and let them ride it out than put in changes.
TuckerCarlson You cannot tell me that you believe this crap?! This is so irresponsible! A government official is asking people to die!
The reporter looks stunned
And Oh yeah....... 🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽
Tell That to the 30,000+ Americans THAT ARE DEAD 💀 within a matter of days! some young and old
Ridiculous! 😡
Why
He sound really stupid considering the fact he is old as well !
Republicans will watch the video and deny he said it. You guys are a special kind of mentally ill.
🤢
DanPatrick This is terrifyingly stupid. Sad!
Classmates AMEN
He wants the elderly to sacrifice themselves for the economy. This Coronavirus has already killed a patient under the age of 18 years old. He wants an Italy Coronavirus situation in America. New York is the worst hit state with their own civilians fleeing to Florida. coronavirus
I feel like this guy is unable to walk and chew gum at the same time

TMZ Comes up with most stupidest shit ever. I live here in Texas & not 1 local news mentioned anything about him saying that. Typical FAKE ASS NEWS provided by Far Left Entertainnent News Source TMZ
His comments are not being taken out of context. He said it
Another Nut!!!
THATS NOT AT ALL WHAT HE SAID!!!!!!!!!!!
Seems very Republican if him..
I think TX Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, and please mat God forgive, but this dude should risk his own death and leave his office.
Republicans - pro life until you are born COVIDIOTS COVID19 CoronavirusLockdown stayhome Covid_19 TrumpVirus
As long as he gets his $$ everyone else can lump it.
I do not feel for one second Trump was advocating a Seniors purge. This idiot however....🤦🏽♀️
Starting with him, correct?
Let’s send all the senior members of his family our first to test the theory.
Another hypocrite who fights for the unborn child....
Results: We must stop voting for trash in these high positions. The thought process is wilding out on national tv, never disappointing to do that.
Anyone else getting mass genocide vibes? Let’s sacrifice the elderly for the economy? What in the actual f$&!
DanPatrick is 69. Will he follow his own advice?
Lt. Governor your a senior!
Typical trash Republican smh
If he really feels this way why doesn’t he go volunteer at the front lines and work in a hospital to help. Easy to say when you are sitting pretty.
Yeah. He never said this - you ambulance chasing bullshit artists.
Cute. Not what he said, though. Be better than this.
Him First. For the dummies that voted for him, his life matters, yours or your families doesn’t. God is revealing all of the wolves in sheep clothing. Let’s MAGA (dump trump) and VoteThemAllOut
Rupert first.
TMZ is disappointed Corona Virus turned out to be a big nothing burger so now they have to lie and make click bait headlines to justify staying home and hiding from a common cold.
He just wants to save money on paying out social security checks!!
Totally misleading post by TMZ. He said he would RISK his life by shortening the economic shutdown to avoid an economic collapse. Smh add TMZ to the fake news media.
Um, Mr Gov, dude, you’re a senior too. LOL.
This is one of the dumbest things I’ve heard.... Texas is going to be in some major trouble if they go by that theory.
No one is going to live forever. Prepare yourselves.
I say go visit Rand Paul, get the virus and then while you’re hanging on by a shared respirator (if there are any) have an epiphany that money isn’t more precious than life. IdiotInChief
America really be ran by idiots
Are you for real?
He should be the test pilot for his thoughts. COVIDー19
That sounds like Jim Jones Part II.
And these are the people they allow to lead and make executive decisions
This guy apparently wasn’t held/loved or comforted .. SMH
Let.Him.Die. Just do it alone in the middle of he ocean.
he doesnt get it does he? Its not just about risking death its about the numbers overwhelming the system by having the virus alone. Tool.
Lol what?
Sacrifice the lives of your parents and grandparents to make America great again. The Great Con
Man wtf
'Seniors Need to Risk Death' Ha,ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No. That wasn't what he said.
Go ahead you first!
He a dick. If he wants to die himself okay but i like my life
That’s not what he said smfh
Fine I want him and his family to be first to put their lives at risk. It's only fair.
Unbelievable!
idiot!! both pres and Patrick
Tucker Carlson looks like he has the Fox News fart gas.
What an a-hole.
Wow, just wow!!!
You go first to save your kids
What an idiot, even though it's redundant.
Everyone what wants to work can go to work.. I’ll stay home
Is he related to Pelosi! Jacka$$!
Agree with him
If one or more of his family members die from it we will see how fast he flips the script.
EMBARRASSING
Wtf 🤦🏻♀️
Except you cant just shut people away until this goes away. What about if a senior suffers a medical emergency - they get taken to hospital. Are the young citizens of us going to help ALL the seniors get necessities. You're only as good as how you treat the most vulnerable.
ThatPirateChick something wrong with this people I swear!! I mean really not right in the head!
Scary!!
Him first
Please redo this. Not remotely what he said
How have you not been sued
'TX Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick Rejects Social Distancing, Seniors Need to Risk Death' Ha, ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Uh, no. That's not it.
Moronic headline
