Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said on Fox News Monday night that
"lots of" grandparents would be willing to die in order to save the
economy for their grandchildren.
What they're saying: "No one reached out to me
and said, as a senior citizen, are you willing to take a chance
on your survival in exchange for keeping the America that all
America loves for your children and grandchildren? And if that's
the exchange, I'm all in," Patrick said on air.
"I just think there are lots of grandparents out
there in this country like me — I have six grandchildren — that's
what we all care about. ... And I want to live smart and see through
this, but I don't want the whole country to be sacrificed. And
that's what I see," he added.
The big picture: Patrick's comments come
shortly after President Trump's press briefing on
Monday where he said the economy will be reactivated soon as the administration
plans to ease social distancing initiatives. Public health officials have
strongly urged for continuing the efforts (from Axios).
