Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) took a swipe at Democratic Rep. Joaquin Castro(D-Texas) by eating at a restaurant that was named in the Texas congressman’s recent controversial tweet.
On Monday, Castro — who chairs his brother’s presidential campaign, former HUD Secretary Julián Castro (D) — published a tweet targeting people in San Antonio, Texas that donated the maximum amount allowed under federal election laws to President Donald Trump‘s 2020 re-election campaign.
“Sad to see so many San Antonians as 2019 maximum donors to Donald Trump — the owner of [Bill Miller BarBQ], owner of the [Historic Pearl], realtor Phyllis Browning, etc.,” tweeted the Texas congressman. “Their contributions are fueling a campaign of hate that labels Hispanic immigrants as ‘invaders.’”
