Faith leaders call on state leaders to reject trumps visit to the border
dallasvoice.comLetter Sent to: Governor Greg Abbott Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick Attorney General Ken Paxton January 11, 2021 As faith leaders in Texas, we are dismayed by your failure to object to President Donald Trump’s visit this week, where he will speak in public for the first time since he incited the violent riot at the U.S.
Capitol on Wednesday [Jan. 6]. The border wall that he is coming to brag about was built with over 10.5 billion dollars, dollars he extracted from the budget of our military.
He took that money when the democratically elected Congress did not agree that building a wall was a responsible way to spend government funds.
