This is just like a leftist struggle session, but on the right. “Say the thing.”

If you remain silent, you’ll be attacked. If you say the WRONG thing, you’ll be attacked.

Brandon Waltens (a toady of Tim Dunn, who controls the Texas GOP) is demanding that statewide Republicans “talk about the Speaker race.” What he’s really demanding is that they support Cook.

And if they remain silent—or, God forbid, support Burrows—that will be used as a reason to ostracize them from the Texas GOP.
