The Texas House speaker was dogged by allegations for months that he planned to politically target sitting Republicans, offered a hardline conservative activist media access and said insulting things about Democrats. #txlege bit.ly/35UE14L
Last week, those allegations were confirmed when a conservative activist released his secret audio recording of a June 12 meeting with Speaker Dennis Bonnen. #txlege bit.ly/35UE14L
Since then, a growing number of Republicans — and Democrats, too — have called on the speaker to resign.

By Tuesday morning, over 30 House Republicans had either called for the speaker’s resignation or had pulled support for the speaker. #txlege bit.ly/35UE14L
