Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan censured by Republican Party of Texas executive committee.
…SREC Member Chris Breaux from Senate District (SD) 3, which includes Phelan’s House district, said, “I think out of everybody in this room I am the only one who can say I have been friends with Dade Phelan for most of my life. I’ve known Dade since we were teenagers [and] he’s always been a little bit of an arrogant jerk, but he’s also been very generous.”
“Dade has been very generous to me personally in my political career, and he’s been wildly generous with Jefferson County and the Republican women’s groups there. If we were judging Dade based on his generosity, this could never pass. But we’re not. We’re voting based on what he’s done that violated our rules. I wish I could support Dade Phelan in this but I can’t. He’s wrong and he’s been obstinate in his wrongness.”
