"This is a coordinated political effort to Islamify Texas, and you’ve got to say it, you’ve got to mean it, you’ve got to push the Legislature to pass laws,” U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, who is also running for attorney general, said in an interview with Steve Bannon. “We’ve got to tweak the Texas Constitution. Whatever’s necessary to protect Texas from being Islamified by the radical Marxists.”

Chip is a profoundly evil man who wants to enforce White Christian Nationalism. He isn't as stupid as this quote meant for his constituency, he knows Texas isn't going to be "Islamified;" he just knows that his base is that stupid: they're motivated by racism and forcing their religion on others.

And the worst part is that he's right.
