Dan Patrick: Grandparents Willing to Sacrifice Themselves to Save America for Their Grandkids
Piggybacking on President Donald Trump’s desire to quickly end social distancing restrictions to fight the spread of coronavirus, Republican Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick suggested that senior citizens would be willing to sacrifice their lives in order to save the American economy for their kids and grandchildren.
