Texas Gov. Greg Abbott tweets fake Winston Churchill quote about anti-fascists

[TexasTowelie]

AUSTIN — Some insights are timeless — and some are just erroneous.

On Tuesday morning, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott tweeted a meme that falsely attributed a quote about fascism to former Prime Minister Winston Churchill. The quote states, "The fascists of the future will call themselves anti-fascists."

Abbott tweeted the meme at 1:10 a.m. Tuesday, adding "some insights are timeless." He deleted it at around 10:20 a.m, after it had been retweeted more than 1,400 times. More than 2,600 people responded, many of whom pointed out that the quote was not Churchill's.

The governor's spokesmen did not respond to requests for comment before it was deleted. Abbott was then asked about the tweet at a press conference early Tuesday afternoon.
