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

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

He also said he would do something about property taxes. We see where that went.

The Allen West years. #txlege open.substack.com/pub/texast…

Has @KenPaxtonTX done any events since becoming the GOP nominee for TX Senate? What is he waiting for. Campaign because this will be a tough election. Don’t take anything for granted. Work for every vote. @Michellebbz

Why is Texas Right To Know, an antisemitic organization, allowed to have exhibit space at the Texas GOP convention? Antisemitism runs counter to our party beliefs and values. #thatjew

I want to congratulate @DrindaRandall and @CoveyTX on their nomination as Chair and Vice Chair of our @TexasGOP. While this race has come to an end, our mission continues. Now is the time to come together, unite behind our Republican nominees, support the entire Republican ticket in November, advance our legislative priorities in the next session, and continue standing firmly for the conservative principles outlined in our platform. I am grateful to everyone who supported our campaign, and I remain committed to serving our party and fighting for the values that make Texas strong.

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

Texas enviro regulators have proposed rules for how oilfield wastewater will be treated & reused. Supporters say this could help the state’s water supply needs. Critics warn it could lead to contamination. There's a hearing on June 15. For @TexasTribune texastribune.org/2026/06/12/…

After all these endorsements they lost? Guess the little people are tired of Tim Dunn boot lickers.

BOMENTUM

I want to congratulate @CaryCheshireTX on unanimously being elected as the next SREC committeeman in SD 10.
