Texas GOP Approves Platform Rejecting 2020 Election Results

HeadlineJun 21, 2022

The Texas Republican Party has approved a radical new platform. It rejects the results of the 2020 election and claims that Joe Biden is not the legitimately elected president of the United States. The party also calls for the abolition of abortion, the prohibition of sex education in schools and the overturning of the Supreme Court case legalizing same-sex marriage, while referring to homosexuality as “an abnormal lifestyle choice.” The Republican platform also criticizes Republican Senator John Cornyn of Texas for working on bipartisan gun legislation. The platform also reiterates that Texas retains the right to secede from the United States.
