Weeks after the Austin uniparty tried to take me out for exposing DEI, even the liberal media are now admitting I never questioned the credentials of the Water Board Chair.. and it was actually DEMOCRATS who made her cry.
How embarrassing for the officials who put out statements based on a lie.

@TexasTribune
: Harrison, the Midlothian Republican, questioned Texas Water Development Board officials about the entity’s strategic plan calling for staff to mirror the state’s diversity. Harrison, citing Abbott’s executive order opposing DEI, called the strategy unconstitutional, race-based hiring.
The exchange led Rep. Nicole Collier, D-Fort-Worth, and Rep. Armando Walle, D-Houston, to criticize what they saw as an aggressive line of questioning toward two witnesses who are Black women. One of them, TWD Board Chair L’Oreal Stepney, found herself defending her work and qualifications. She pointed to her two degrees from UT-Austin in civil and aerospace engineering and her decades of experience managing the state’s most “precious resource.”
At one point later in the hearing, Stepney, who was appointed by Abbott, was brought to tears. Collier and Walle brought her tissues.
Though Harrison didn't accuse Stepney of being a DEI hire, the intensity of the exchange crystallized the ongoing political fight around DEI. The state’s top three Republicans — Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and House Speaker Dustin Burrows — later publicly came to Stepney’s defense, albeit sidestepping the topic of race or DEI.
In a later interview with the Tribune, Harrison defended his line of questioning as “perfect.” He said he had directed similar questions to other agencies as well to understand how taxpayer dollars were going toward “discriminatory DEI practices.”

LAWLESS! Watch me expose how DEMOCRAT CHAIRS of the Texas House budget committee wrote the budget in SECRET - spending BILLIONS of your dollars on DEMOCRAT priorities - in clear violation of House rules.
The Texas House is corrupt!
Did you vote for this??

You might not like it… but Texans deserve the truth about what’s happening down here.

Fact: the Texas government has been giving taxpayers the bird for years by funding liberal BS.
Worse: both the House and Senate budgets this session INCREASE FUNDING for government entities engaged in DEI and gender ideology.
I am fighting to end it.
Texans. Deserve. Better!

INSANE: Texas government employees created an app to encourage the (possibly illegal) use of women's restrooms by men, locate "gender inclusive bathrooms," and identify those with "passing privilege" to be "bathroom buddies" with strangers in bathrooms of the opposite sex.

I am calling to completely DEFUND the University of Texas unless they immediately terminate their Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies Department, their LGBTQ Studies, and DEI programs.
The Texas government needs to grow a backbone.
Full statement:
The Texas government has failed Texans, by weaponizing their tax dollars against them, their values, and their children, and I won’t stand for it, especially in light of what I discovered on my undercover visit to the University of Texas campus yesterday as they were hosting a transgender conference. I am calling for the IMMEDIATE termination of the University of Texas at Austin’s Department of Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies, and its LGBTQ Studies program in the College of Liberal Arts.
If these programs are not immediately terminated, along with the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs, which I have already called to be ended, I will do everything I can to completely defund the University of Texas of all taxpayer funding in the budget that the Texas House will shortly consider.
