Texas GOP troll Briscoe Cain files bill to defund San Antonio Express-News, other newspapers
A far-right Texas lawmaker with a history of bomb-throwing antics has declared war on “liberal news websites," filing two separate bills to defund long-standing news organizations such as the San Antonio Express-News. State Rep. Briscoe Cain, a Republican who represents Houston’s eastern suburbs, on Monday filed House Bills 2600 and 2599. Individually, the proposals would bar members of the Texas Legislature from using state dollars to purchase newspaper subscriptions from outside their districts and ban state agencies from providing any financial support to news organizations.
