'Texans Are Fed Up with Corporations that Don't Share Our Values'
[BREITBART] Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R) is "stunned" American Airlines issued a statement opposing an election integrity bill, Senate Bill 7, following passage early Thursday morning, as the CEO admittedly did not read the legislation.

"I am stunned that American Airlines would put out a statement saying ’we are strongly opposed to this bill’ [Senate Bill 7]," the lieutenant governor said, "just minutes after their government relations representative called my office and admitted that neither he nor the American Airlines CEO had actually read the legislation."

Patrick said he heard the same outcries from corporations in 2011 — claims that Texas passed a "voter suppression" bill when it passed a photo voter ID bill. He said the opposite of voter suppression occurred.

"Voter turnout in Texas soared from 7,993,851 in 2012 to 11,144,040 in 2020, a 39 percent increase. Gubernatorial election voter turnout has increased by 76 percent since photo voter ID was passed," he said in his statement.
Mic drop.
