Conservatives warn that the feud over the border between Texas’ governor and the Biden administration could seriously escalate.
The escalating battle between Texas Governor Greg Abbott and the Biden administration over the southern border is bringing warnings that a “civil war” is on the verge of breaking out in the U.S.
Conservatives are speculating that a war could erupt as Abbott defends Texas’ “constitutional right to self-defense” in response to President Joe Biden’s immigration policies. On Thursday, the governor accused the White House of having “broken the compact between the United States and the States” after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that federal Border Patrol agents can remove razor wire installed at the border at Abbott’s direction.
Internet personality Terrence Williams responded to Abbott’s statement by warning his 1.7 million followers that “CIVIL WAR IS COMING SOON” in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
“You are trying to start a civil war,” Williams told the president in a video posted online. “You got everybody in the state of Texas all bent up.”
Conservative commentator Carmine Sabia agreed, writing on X, “Joe Biden is about to start a Civil War over his treasonous handling of the border.”
On X, conservative podcaster Graham Allen questioned, “Has Civil War officially begun? Oklahoma and Texas are now defending America!”
Abbott’s GOP allies, who include Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin, have expressed support for his position and vow to continue assisting Texas as migrants keep crossing the border at record-breaking levels.
