San Antonio’s Joaquin Castro slams Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick for calling migrants 'wild men'
U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro, a San Antonio Democrat, slammed Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick on Monday for describing migrants during a recent TV appearance as "wild men" who are "stampeding" into the nation. "This is the kind of hateful, dangerous rhetoric that inspired the 2019 massacre in El Paso — where a madman drove 10 hours and murdered 23 people, including American citizens, to stop what he called the Hispanic 'invasion' of Texas," Castro said in an emailed statement. "Dan Patrick needs to stop spreading hate before more people are killed."
