Texas Republicans go all in on border security ahead of midterms
just weeks before the midterm elections, U.S. Rep. Chip Roy suggested Republicans should count the political stunt as a campaign contribution.
Republicans in congressional races across Texas tweeted about the border 741 times in September, when the migrant busing again stole the national spotlight. That was a 55 percent increase over July, according to an analysis by the communications firm Digital Advance that was compiled for Hearst Newspapers. By comparison, Republicans tweeted about the economy about 188 times in September, about half as much as they did in July, the analysis shows.
Over the last 90 days, Texas Republicans tweeted about the border 1,656 times. Democrats tweeted about abortion 677 times and gun violence 522 times over the same span.
