Patrick is worried about losing in November. He should be.

Long post: Yesterday at the #TexasGOPConvention I was in the Exhibit Hall with my wife and daughter. It was there I noticed a young man about 30 feet away smiling and almost laughing at me. I shrugged it off. Almost two hours later, after the conclusion of the last general session of the day, we had returned to Exhibit Hall C to finish up some looking around the booths. As we left the hall, that same young man walked past me, pointed to the yarmulke on top of my head, and said, “When the next Crusades happen, we are taking back the Holy Land.” I turned around and asked him to repeat himself. He repeated word for word. While the crusades were about purging Muslims from the Holy Land and especially Jerusalem, he made it clear that just like the knights of the crusades felt Muslims were an infection, so were Jews considered an infection by this guy. You could feel it all in the air, the stench of antisemitism. I called back out as he continued to walk away that he should find his swastika armband, and that he should be removed from the convention. He never faced me and picked up his pace walking away. That’s what happens with antisemites. They are cowards….and tiny. Earlier in the day, I posted about a group called “Texans Right To Know” and questioned why that group, which is a antisemitic conspiracy group, was given exhibit hall space. This incident proves that better vetting, or just vetting at all, needs to happen for conventions. Plank 283 of the proposed platform says the following: “We strongly, condemn the rise and antisemitism that has spread worldwide.” That antisemitism reared its ugly head at this convention. I do want to say thank you to the other delegates that we’re passing by who witnessed what happened, and offered encouraging words. It goes without saying that the Republican Party of Texas state convention should be the last place that antisemitism should be given any kind of space. Last night I filed an official complaint with our incoming SRECs for SD1 as well as notifying the executive Director of the Republican Party of Texas @mcavanaughster #thatjew

HOUSTON — Elephant joins Texas GOP convention, and pees right between the press area and delegates, after Gov. Greg Abbott’s speech.

The elephant in the room at the @TexasGOP convention in Houston

Abbott was getting some underwhelming applause to the pillars of his property tax plan until he mentioned abolishing school property taxes for homeowners.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott backs closing the state's primaries in a rare speech to the state GOP convention: "We are going to make clear that in the future, only Republicans vote in Republican primaries."

A slide from the “Don’t Sharia My Texas” luncheon of the Texas GOP convention.

Overheard at convention: “Rachel Hooper’s resignation has already been requested.”

“This is the worst polling environment I’ve seen in 30 years” - @TeamBettencourt, to the SD 7 caucus at the @TexasGOP convention. Bettencourt is urging attendees to get engaged to win over swing voters in November.

.@KenPaxtonTX, @GregAbbott_TX & the Baja Mar-A-Lago elites are in denial about fair-minded R defections. It's been happening since the primary. The pace picked up after Paxton's runoff trouncing of Cornyn & then the juvenile AI slop from Abbott/Paxton. spectrumlocalnews.com/tx/sou…

I’m honored to be endorsed by our next US Senator Ken Paxton for State Chairman. Ken Paxton knows I have what it takes to keep Texas red. It’s time to unite our Party and beat the Democrats in November. @KenPaxtonTX

Because this would have been a better choice???

🚨Report: John Cornyn has announced he will not campaign for Republican Senate Nominee Ken Paxton for the November General Election
