If you arent already following me on Twitter (Ill never call it X), thats where Ive been posting all of the bat-shit crazy video clips Im seeing at the 2024 Republican Party of Texas (RPT) Convention. For some reason, I thought their convention didnt start until this weekend, but I forgot its an entire week long, and their committees are meeting for 15 hours a day. My week is committed. Ill listen for all the juicy tidbits and report all the crazy back to you. Get ready because some of this stuff is full-blown bananas.
Here is their full convention agenda.
Ive been mainly watching their Legislative Priorities Committee and their Platform Committee, but their Rules Committee has also been meeting. I have to catch up on it later.
You can watch their full committee hearings here.
What does each committee do?
Some of you may remember the absolutely deranged Republican platform from 2022, which called Joe Biden an illegitimate president, said gay people were abnormal, and opposed critical thinking in schools, and that was all before they booed John Cornyn off stage.
