Texas voters have been bombarded with texts in recent weeks lying about the impacts of the lawsuit abuse reform legislation working through the legislative process in Texas. Recently, conservative State Representative Cody Vasut was attacked by name in this misinformation campaign, and took to Facebook to dispel the rumors. 

Rep. Vasut posted a warning on his Facebook page that a text claiming he supports a bill “that protects criminals behind the wheel” is circulating.  Vasut said “this text is not true” and that he believes that “a trial attorney group from outside the state” was responsible for the message. 

Unsurprisingly, Vasut’s constituents could see right through this deceitful campaign. 

Numerous people noted they swiftly reported these texts as spam. 

One commenter said the contents of the text is a “libelous lie” and that they “will never believe this type of accusation” about Rep. Vasut. 

Another commenter said of Vasut, “if anyone knows you even a little bit, they know you can be trusted to do what is right and fair.” 

Clearly, Texans can be trusted to see the truth behind these disingenuous attempts to discredit a proven conservative lawmaker as he stands up for consumers.
