‘America Better Wake Up And Get Angry About This’: Dan Patrick Rips Democrats, Anti-Police Rhetoric And Black Lives Matter Movement

Republican Texas Lieutenant Gov. Dan Patrick condemned calls to defund the police and the Black Lives Matter movement, calling people who want to send social workers to domestic disturbances “plain out idiotic” Monday.

Patrick spoke with Fox News’s Sandra Smith on “America’s Newsroom” and tore into Democrats, former Vice President Joe Biden and the various movements that have emerged since the death of George Floyd. He accused Democrats of not wanting to back police officers at all and added that he is “so tired of this mob and these people on Facebook and Twitter attacking our police.”

“We are not going to have any police left,” Patrick said as he railed off statistics about cops dying. “America better wake up, and while they didn’t start this fire, Joe Biden and the Democrats are aiding and abetting this.”
