On Thursday’s Pratt on Texas I broke the news that confused RINO state rep. Jason Villalba introduced a bill restricting the right of citizens to observe our government in operation. Texas Politics posted the story headlined “Bill restricting rights of citizens to videotape police introduced in Texas House” during the show.
I had much to say about this on Pratt on Texas that I will not repeat here and I’m glad to say that there have been some encouraging headlines since the story broke. I was quite glad to see this Dallas Morning News headline: “Dallas state Rep. Villalba drawing fire for proposal that criminalizes ‘cop-watching”. Breitbart Texas put it this way: “Texas Rep. Villalba Files Bill That Criminalizes Bloggers, Citizens Filming Cops”.
Villalba is a confused politician even by moderate-RINO standards. Earlier this week he pulled his traditional values, religious liberty bill because Bill Hammond at the Texas Association of Big-Business objected to the bill which protects business, yes protects business, from being fined and bullied by the homosexual lobby for not going along with the left-wing LGBT&Q agenda.
Jason Villalba has spent a good deal of time telling other Republicans what they should believe. He’s toured the state attacking others in the GOP for standing strong on border security and the Rule of Law. He’s completely caved on his big traditional-values bill for which he was glad to get tons of press coverage a few months ago (sort of in Harvey Hilderbran margins-tax fashion from last session.) And now, Villalba is trying to criminalize citizens who keep watch on the activities of their own government.
Representative Jason Villalba may be a big-money lawyer but, he’s a very confused political office holder who doesn’t really know what he believes. That might be a clue that he should stop telling other Republicans what to believe.
State Rep. Villalba is a confused officeholder
