Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott: Who’s More Dangerous Than Kim Jong Un? Democrats
Attorney General Greg Abbott says there’s something “far more dangerous” than nuclear-armed North Korea - Democrats who want to register and motivate voters.
The Republican attorney general, who is looking at a race for governor next year, told a group in Waco that an organization formed by former Obama campaign operatives called Battleground Texas is a threat that Texans must resist. He said North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un is less dangerous than the Democrats.
Battleground Texas organizers say they hope to identify and register new voters to turn the solidly Republican state blue in the next few years. The group says Texas is ripe for change, in part because of a growing Hispanic population that historically votes disproportionately for Democrats. The last time a Democrat won statewide office in Texas was 1994.
In Waco on Monday, Abbott sounded the alarm: “One thing that requires ongoing vigilance is the reality that the state of Texas is coming under a new assault, an assault far more dangerous than what the leader of North Korea threatened when he said he was going to add Austin, Texas, as one of the recipients of his nuclear weapons,” Abbott said. “The threat that we’re getting is the threat from the Obama administration and his political machine.”

Well, it’s true you know. One noted Democrat, Barack Obama, has control of a lot more and better nuclear weapons than Kim does. Of course he is unlikely to threaten Austin with them; Lubbock, maybe, but not Austin.
