Abbot Dedicates Texas Statue of Liberty
Today Governor Greg Abbot dedicated a new Texan version of the Statue of Liberty- which he calls the Texas Statue of Freedom. It sits astride the Rio Grande river, near Brownsville. The statue is a 250 foot high man, holding aloft an AR-15, sculpted entirely in white marble and filigreed with gold.
At the dedication Governor Abbot spoke eloquently.
"Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free... That's a load of bullshit. Texas wants your Elon, your Bezos, your old white billionaires yearning to be free of the average 8% taxation forced on them in other states. We don't need someone who can come here and make something from nothing. We need people who already have everything to just bring it here and make even more."
"The white marble of this statue represents the whiteness, the purity of our virtues. The AR-15, the weapon of our victory over the brown Mexicans at the Alamo, where Randy Travis fought so bravely." he said.
"The best part of all is that this was paid for entirely through the infrastructure bill Biden just passed."
Upon looking around at the faces in the crowd, he remarked :Too much brown down here- I think we need to rename this Whitesville."
