Texas Republican Party Adopts Platform Declaring "Biden Not Legitimately Elected... Homosexuality Is Abnormal"

[Asia Economy New York=Special Correspondent Joselgina] The Republican Party of Texas has adopted a new platform that includes a statement refusing to recognize President Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 presidential election.

According to USA Today and others on the 20th (local time), the Texas Republican Party adopted the related platform through a voice vote of 5,000 delegates at the state convention held over the weekend on the 18th. The approximately 40-page platform includes the phrase, "We reject the certified results of the 2020 election," and states, "He (President Biden) was not legitimately elected by the American people." President Biden was referred to as the acting president rather than the president.

Additionally, the Texas Republican Party claimed that the results in the five battleground states where Biden won by a narrow margin were affected by election fraud.

Chairman Matt Rinaldi stated in a press release, "It is natural that Texas Republicans do not trust the results of the 2020 election," and added, "We have made election integrity our top priority to ensure that Texas does not proceed in the same way as Pennsylvania, Georgia, or Arizona. We refuse to allow Democrats to rig elections in 2022 or 2024."

This platform is virtually identical to the claims of election fraud previously made by former President Donald Trump, who refused to accept the election results. It is particularly noteworthy that it was adopted while the Democrat-led House Select Committee investigating the January 6 Capitol riot is holding public hearings directly targeting former President Trump's responsibility for inciting the riot.

In addition to refusing to recognize President Biden's victory, the platform also includes content related to homosexuality. The platform states, "Homosexuality is a choice of an abnormal lifestyle," and argues that no one should be granted special legal status based on LGBTQ+ identity. It further states opposition to "any efforts to recognize transgender identity."
