The Republican Party of Texas will be deleting its account on the free-speech social media platform Gab, amid pressure from Gov. Greg Abbott and Texas GOP Vice Chair Cat Parks.

During their quarterly meeting in Laredo this past weekend, the State Republican Executive Committee voted 35-25 to delete the Texas GOP’s Gab account after much debate.

But earlier this month, Gov. Greg Abbott surprised Texas Republicans by lashing out against the platform, calling it “antisemitic” and saying it had “no place in Texas.”

And while at the time the party’s Vice Chair Cat Parks had called for the account to be closed, Chairman Allen West said the party would stand in support of free speech and had no plans to leave the platform.

Texas GOP bows to cancel culture because of the possibility that someone deemed by the mob to be antisemitic might post and have freedom of speech on GAB. The days of fighting for freedom of speech are over.
