Texas GOP Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick Weirdly Claims Trump Is Not 'Ruling Class'
HuffPost
Patrick and other Trump defenders bristled when their definitions were called into question.
Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick was the latest GOP toady of Donald Trump’s to show up outside of his New York hush money trial and pay fealty to the party’s fearless leader.
In the process, he suggested that he doesn’t understand the meaning of a very basic term: ruling class.
It happened while Patrick was defending Trump against being held accountable by suggesting the former president and self-proclaimed billionaire is a victim of the whims of those danged elites.
“If the courts in New York come after any of you because of something you said, because you said something the ruling class didn’t like, and that’s what all these other countries are about,” Patrick said. “They want to be sure that anyone that speaks up against the ruling class disappears.”
Just to drive things home, Patrick added, “They want to take him off the main stage because they know he is their biggest danger to take on the ruling class.”
