"A spokesman for Republican Gov. Greg Abbott told CNBC on Tuesday night: “Ben and Jerry’s decision to boycott parts of Israel is disgraceful and an insult to America’s closest ally in the Middle East.” The statement went on to say: “Unilever, Ben and Jerry’s parent company, must reverse this ill-conceived decision.”
Abbott signed a bill into law four years ago that would force Texas pension funds to divest from any company boycotting Israel."

Capt Gregory Prickett: I doubt he really cares about the First Amendment. It's all about feeding the red meat to the base. And the taxpayers get to eat the legal fees. SMDH.
