Texas’ Republican Attorney General Greg Abbott on Monday warned a GOP crowd in Waco, Texas that Democrats pose a greater threat to the Lone Star State than North Korea’s young leader, Kim Jong Un. 

From the Waco Tribune-Herald:

Abbott also weighed in on Battleground Texas, a group formed by veterans of Obama’s presidential campaigns hoping to make Democrats more competitive in Texas, where the party hasn’t won a statewide election in nearly two decades.

 

“One thing that requires ongoing vigilance is the reality that the state of Texas is coming under a new assault, an assault far more dangerous than what the leader of North Korea threatened when he said he was going to add Austin, Texas, as one of the recipients of his nuclear weapons,” Abbott said. “The threat that we’re getting is the threat from the Obama administration and his political machine.”
