author and commentator keith boykin tweeted this response. he said, texas governor greg abbott is blocking the black mayors of houston and dallas from implementing cdc-recommended covid rules to save people s lives and texas lieutenant governor dan patrick has the audacity to blame black people for covid in the state. this is the same theme we see with voter suppression in your state, trying to override the autonomy of democrats, especially democrats of color. absolutely. it is interesting because the areas that we saw taking a lead in defying the governor s orders when it came to covid, guess what, they were the large urban centers. it started off in dallas county, in harris county, and even tarrant county, and tarrant county has been republican for sometime. i mean it is trending the right way, but we saw them defying them everywhere. now it event went to parris, texas, an area that voted for trump at least in the 70 percentile. you would think they would say, maybe this isn t real
