TX Gov. Abbott Invokes James Madison In Defense Of Border Security
Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott posted a message to social media Monday, providing historical context to his recent measures rolled out in order to secure the state’s border.
“Texas has the constitutional right to defend itself from invasion. What Texas is doing is exactly what James Madison said would be protected by the Constitution,” he wrote.
The governor then shared an example of how Virginia was previously allowed to use its militia to quell a smuggling racket penetrating state lines.
“One of the most crucial rights granted in the U.S. Constitution is a state’s ability to secure its own border. James Madison, the ‘Father of the Constitution,’ emphasized that Article I, Section 10, Clause 3 would allow Virginia’s state militia ‘to be called forth to suppress smugglers’ who had endangered their state. Those smugglers were bringing contraband into the state and threatened the sovereignty of Virginia’s borders.”
He continued the history lesson, “Madison knew that states must have the means to defend themselves. John Marshall reinforced this right held by states. He too was an important advocate for ratifying the Constitution, and later a Chief Justice on the Supreme Court. Marshall explained that Article I, Section 10, Clause 3 ‘clearly proves that the states can use the militia when they find it necessary,’ to respond to an invasion or imminent danger.”
“Today, Texas faces a similar but starker threat than Virginia’s smugglers, with Mexican drug cartels that operate as paramilitary forces on our border. The criminal smuggling activity faced by Texas far exceeds Madison’s criteria for use of a state militia. We will continue to build barriers that deny illegal entry into our state, arrest immigrants that cross illegally, and fulfill our duty to secure our border,” the GOP governor concluded his statement.
Texas has the constitutional right to defend itself from invasion.

Abbott’s message is also fitting as Monday is Presidents’ Day and Madison, a Founding Father, also served as the fourth president of the United States.
“Let’s Go Brandon 2.0” – Libs Think “F**k Joe Biden” Chant At Trump Sneaker Event Said “Let’s Go Biden”
During Donald Trump’s Saturday appearance at Sneaker Con, where he unveiled a special pair of high-top shoes, the crowd chanted, “Fuck Joe Biden,” and leftists claimed they were saying, “Let’s Go Biden.”
The crowd actually appears to be chanting both “Fuck Joe Biden” and “Let’s Go Brandon.”

Pro-Trump rapper Hi-Rez coined the incident “‘Let’s Go Brandon’ part 2” as it is nearly identical to the televised moment when “Fuck Joe Biden” first became “Let’s Go Brandon.”

When the term “Let’s Go Biden” started trending online over the misunderstood video, the left doubled down and insisted “Let’s go Biden” is actually a thing.

The dishonest media also ran headlines claiming Trump was booed at the event when in reality, he saw a woman wearing a “Trump 2024” t-shirt and the crowd sounded like it was both cheering and booing.
It does sound like a couple of people may have been booing, but there is also a terrible microphone feedback making a similar tone noise throughout the speech.
A Forbes video alleged Trump reacted to being booed by telling the crowd “there’s a lot of emotion,” but the couple of people booing only started after he said “there’s a lot of emotion in this room.”
After speaking to the crowd about his shoes for a moment, Trump held them up in the air and received a major applause.
Listen and watch below:
Check out some official images of the visibly pro-Trump crowd at the event:

Of course, reality showed a couple of haters booing compared to hundreds chanting “Fuck Joe Biden” and “Let’s Go Brandon.”
Sane people online slammed liberals for again twisting reality.
They are most definitely not chanting
