I’ say Greg Abbott and Eric Nichols have created an environment today where that would be more politically acceptable - than when Oprah was droning on about their ‘wholesome’ lives, beautiful hair and good old fashioned home made bread.
That disgraceful show of Oprah’s exposed her for the hypocrite she is. Lots of others share her disgrace, too.

Warren Jeffs Rests His Case
Posted: 12:48 PM ET
With less than an hour of arguments today from Warren Jeffs, the polygamist sect leader on trial for sexual assault silently rested his case. This comes after a bizarre day of testimony yesterday.
Day 5 of the TX v Warren Jeffs trial began with Warren Jeffs, asking for what he calls Constitutional protection based upon his belief that he represents a religious organization. His request was immediately denied.
During testimony, the prosecution established how Warren Jeffs married a 12-year-old girl who is the daughter of one of his followers. The child was watched over by Jeffs most of her life. Public records show the jury learned that Jeffs was involved in assigning jobs for the Jessop family and was the principle at Alta Academy, the FLDS school the girl attended.
