Greg Abbott’s (R-TX) reposne to COVID-19 was part of the Trump administration's "death cult mentality.” O’Rourke spoke to MSNBC's Joy Reid, who said: “I’m going to read it to you.

Joe Biden Pledges to Grant Citizenship to 11 Million Illegal Aliens

Former Vice President Joe Biden has vowed to grant citizenship rights for 11 million illegal aliens and abolish President Donald Trump’s robust border policies if elected. Biden also pledged to limit ICE’s ability to deport criminals in local jails, expand sanctuary locations while reversing deportations for some military veterans ousted because of criminal records. The Democratic presidential nominee's plans highlight his complete contrast in policies to that of Trump's. The unity platform, which has been developed by Sen. Bernie Sanders, would remove the primary immigration policy of the last three and a half years. It will also replace the policies with more legal immigration and eliminating the controls that curb it. The platform calls for immediate 100-day halt to all deportations while policing the way the Border Patrol and ICE’s deportation officers enforce the policies.

Alyssa Milano Pushes Claim that Praying for Trump is Like Lynching Black People

Liberal actress-turned-activist Alyssa Milano boosted a video conference that compared Christians praying for President Donald Trump to the lynching of black people. In the clip, a black pastor makes a comparison between African Americans being lynched to Christian prayers for the president. Bishop Talbert Swan hosted the video on "The Bishop's Barbecue." Milano also engaged in discussions with black pastors before retweeting the video from the conference. "Let's remember that the moral majority and the Christian Evangelical right was never first and foremost about moral issues, abortion, sexuality, any of that, it was actually rooted in white supremacy," claimed activist Tim Jacob Wise. "What do you say, what do you say to your white conservative friends, you know, who say well Mike, you know, you know, God said, you know because you know, of course, God is all in this thing with Trump, you know, that's that's the will of God and you gotta play for him, and Romans 13 says to ah, submit to governing authorities," asked Swan.
