What they’re saying: “We reject the licensed outcomes of the 2020 Presidential election, and we maintain that performing President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. was not legitimately elected,” the decision says.
The large image: The Platform Committee’s remaining report has a “State Sovereignty” part declaring: “Texas retains the fitting to secede from america.”
- A “Texas Independence” part requires the legislature to carry a statewide 2023 referendum “to find out whether or not or not the State of Texas ought to reassert its standing as an unbiased nation.”
Actuality verify: “No, Texas cannot legally secede from the U.S.,” The Texas Tribune notes.
Texas Democratic Social gathering Chairman Gilberto Hinojosa issued a press release in regards to the platform saying the state GOP “confirmed us that they reside in a parallel universe.”
