He went on:"If Texas votes to leave the union, if there's violence, it won't be on our part. It'll be on the part of the federal government."A study conducted this year by Newsweek along with UK-based Redfield and Wiltson Strategies found that 67% of likely Texan voters, if given the choice, would vote to remain part of the United States.that despite his standoff with the feds in Eagle Pass, the notion that he wants to secede from the union is a"false narrative.
