"SNIP....
During an interview with Tucker Carlson on Fox News this Monday, Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick said that hes willing to bet theres plenty of senior citizens in America who would be willing to risk contracting COVID-19 if it meant getting the economy back on track.
Patrick said that he, as a senior citizen himself, would be willing to take a chance on his survival in exchange for keeping the America that all America loves for his children and grandchildren, adding that people hes talked to say the same thing.
The interview went viral and plenty of critics weighed in with reactions, including former FBI Special Agent Ali H. Soufan, who suggested Patricks sentiment isnt unlike the suicidal death cults hes dealt with in the past.
I dealt with suicidal cults before, he tweeted. I encountered people who are willing to die for their faith, ideology, race, etc. But, I never encountered anyone who is willing to die for someone elses 401k. This is a whole new level of craziness.
