Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, on Tuesday called upon Houston-area businesses not to comply with coronavirus lockdown guidance, which he argued had no basis in the U.S. Constitution.
The fierce words came in response to the Department of State Health Services' recommendation for Houston bars to close, while restaurants and other businesses should reduce occupancy because COVID-19 patients have occupied 15% of available beds for seven consecutive days.
Crenshaw said that businesses should "absolutely not" comply with these lockdown measures.
"Lockdowns are not supported by law, they are unconstitutional edicts," Crenshaw tweeted. "Law enforcement should not enforce this. Stop stealing people’s right to make a living."
