Republicans cheer tough police response to UT Austin protest: ‘Don’t mess with Texas’
AUSTIN — Republicans from Texas praised the success that Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) and the University of Texas at Austin had shutting down a pro-Palestinian protest on campus just hours after it got underway. “Take your intifada and shove it! Don’t Mess with Texas,” said Rep. Beth Van Duyne (R-TX) in a post Thursday on X.
