Exchange of the Day

Texas state Rep. Gene Wu (D) spoke to John Berman on CNN about Gov. Greg Abbott’s threats of removing Democrats from office.

WU: I would say, you know what, today is a great day to end the corruption of Greg Abbott. This has gone on far too long. The public has been enraged about this. How politicians continue to tell the public pretty words, but never actually do what they say they would do. This is Governor Abbott being upset about that because he’s been caught doing exactly that.  And Governor Abbott, frankly, he doesn’t know how to read attorney generals opinions because he used to be attorney general. And, frankly, Democrats say, come and take it.

BERMAN: Come and take it. You think — do you think he could be successful taking your seats away?

WU: No. It’s all bluster. Sound and fury signifying nothing.
