Texas Governor Greg Abbott is exposing the breathtaking hypocrisy of Democrats who spent years attacking his state's constitutional right to defend its border, only to now suddenly embrace "states' rights" when it suits their political agenda in Minnesota.
The stark flip-flop reveals everything Americans need to know about how the radical left views federalism – it's only legitimate when they can use it to advance their woke agenda.
For four long years under the disastrous Biden regime, Abbott faced relentless attacks from Democrats and their lapdog media allies for daring to protect Texans from the invasion at our southern border. The same Democrats who are now wrapping themselves in states' rights rhetoric spent countless hours condemning Texas for enforcing immigration law when the federal government refused to do its job.
Selective Constitutional Principles
"The hypocrisy is stunning," Abbott said, calling out the Democrats' convenient discovery of the Tenth Amendment. "Where was this passionate defense of states' rights when Texas was being sued by the Biden administration for putting up razor wire to stop illegal crossings?"
Patriots remember how the left-wing establishment went into overdrive attacking Operation Lone Star, Texas's heroic effort to secure the border that Joe Biden deliberately left wide open. Now these same Democrats want to lecture us about state sovereignty?
"Democrats only believe in states' rights when they can use them to implement their radical agenda. When states like Texas try to protect their citizens from an invasion, suddenly federalism is a threat to democracy."
This isn't about legal principles – it's about raw political power. Democrats will twist any constitutional doctrine to advance their agenda while denying those same rights to conservative states doing the people's work.
The Trump Difference
Thankfully, those dark days of federal government sabotage are over. With President Trump back in the White House and his mass deportation program already underway, states like Texas finally have a federal partner instead of an adversary in securing our borders.
How long will it take for these same Democrats to flip-flop again when their "states' rights" position becomes inconvenient? Smart money says they'll abandon this newfound constitutional reverence the moment it conflicts with their next woke crusade.
