Beto O’Rourke Calls Texas Republicans a ‘Death Cult’

Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) called his home state’s Republican Party a “death cult” referring to Gov. Greg Abbott (R) and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick’s (R) response to the coronavirus crisis, The Hill reports.

Said O’Rourke: “This is one of the most craven, callous failures of leadership that I’ve ever witnessed in my life.”

He added: “This is a death cult. The Texas GOP. Only they want you to do the dying.”
