Patrick Portrays Himself as the Mind
Behind Obama Deep State Conspiracy
Biden Trolls MAGA Republicans with Super Bowl Tweet
Capitol Inside
February 12, 2024
Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick got the Super Bowl weekend under way with a social media post that sought to take credit for the increasingly popular right-wing conspiracy on Michelle Obama waiting in the wings to replace President Joe Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket in the fall.
The Maryland product who leads the Texas Senate said a prophesy that he'd shared for more than a dozen months started coming true last week with a special counsel's report cleared Biden in a probe on classified documents but angered the president by depicting him as senile and feeble minded.
Patrick said that the former president to whom Biden served as VP had somehow engineered the investigation as a way to clear the path for his wife to claim the Democratic nomination for the White House.
"I’ve said for over a year many times that Joe Biden would not be on the ticket and Michelle Obama would be the likely nominee," Patrick wrote on X. "It’s clear the Democrat deep state run by Barack Obama knew they had to take him down to give them a chance in November.
Patrick didn't say in that or any subsequent tweets if he agreed with Donald Trump's assessment that the Kansas City Chiefs 25-22 victory over the San Francisco 49ers in overtime on Sunday night confirmed that the fix on Super Bowl LVIII was in. Patrick, who serves as Trump's campaign chairman in Texas, didn't second the ex-president's claim before the game that Taylor Swift would be a traitor if she endorses Biden for president.
"There's no way she could endorse Crooked Joe Biden, the worst and most corrupt President in the History of our Country, and be disloyal to the man who made her so much money," Trump asserted in a post on Truth Social on Sunday afternoon.
Patrick did not comment on the apparent man crush that Trump revealed about Swift's beau Travis Kelce - the tight end of the Chiefs. "Besides that, I like her boyfriend, Travis, even though he may be a Liberal, and probably can’t stand me!" Trump added in the post.
Trump said that he'd signed the Music Modernization Act into law as the springboard to wealth for Swift and other recording artists. Trump and Patrick might find it interesting to learn that Swift was already extremely wealthy and famous before the legislation that focused on copyrights and royalties in the streaming age emerged from Congress in 2017. The measure was an eulogy in ways for the death of the traditional recording industry that revolved on selling albums during Trump's White House stint.
Patrick in contrast avoided the GOP's preoccupation with Swift amid the possible realization that Trump was simply boosting her stock with a pitch on why she owed him a major debt of gratitude in a claim that's blatantly absurd. But Patrick seemed certain that he'd cracked the code on the Obama machine strategy long ago.
"They set him up in the report calling him a “sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,." Patrick said. "They could have protected him by putting him in the Oval Office to read a statement with no press questions. Instead, they sent him out and fed him to a press – where he was a total embarrassment. He doesn’t have a memory and Kamala doesn’t have a brain. Now they have a real problem."
But maybe not so much if Swift endorses Biden like Trump and other Republicans fear.
