GOP Texas Senate Candidate Promises to Be A "Mini" MTG

[#TexasPolitics365]

Texas GOP candidate Bianca Gracia said she might be a "mini Marjorie Taylor Greene" if elected to office.

Gracia, who's running for district 11 in the Texas State Senate, said she would remain true to her word if she's elected.

"We have some very blind, hypocritical people in office who tell you they're going to do all these things for you and they do nothing. They go into office and they shake hands behind closed doors and they pretend to fight against each other," Gracia said, in a recent podcast. "The only one right now that's really fighting back is Marjorie Taylor Greene," she said.
