FALSE PROPHET

Dan Patrick

Lieutenant Governor, Texas

Dan Patrick is the current lieutenant governor of Texas and, as leader of the state senate, a primary driver of the attempted implementation of a Christian nationalist agenda in the state legislature -- including a theocratic new law allowing public schools to replace counselors with untrained, unlicensed chaplains. Addressing the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in 2022, Patrick claimed: “We’re a nation founded upon the words of God. He wrote the Constitution. He empowered them.”
