Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott suggested on Sunday that HR 1, the sweeping reform bill recently passed by the House of Representatives, could eventually lead Democrats to “ use cocaine to buy votes. ”
Appearing on Fox News’ Sunday morning FuturesAbbott insisted on hosting Maria Bartiromo that the bill aimed at improving access to voting would in fact try to “institutionalize voter fraud in the United States of America” because it would expand the use of postal voting.
Describing his time as Attorney General in Texas, the governor then recalled an “ amazing story ” about vote-buying. “It was Barack Obama himself who knew about the dangers of ballot harvesting in the state of Texas,” he told a gullible Bartiromo. “Because, under his rule, he sent his U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Texas and the FBI to South Texas to arrest and prosecute people involved in harvesting ballots that used cocaine to buy votes through the ballot harvesting process in the United States. state of Texas. It is a way of voter fraud and cannot be allowed. “
Bartiromo exclaimed in response, “This is absolutely extraordinary, Governor!”
