In Twitter rant, Speaker Bonnen takes issue with big box stores as they implement Abbott's reopening plan

“It is time we start calling out the retail giants for their disgusting disregard for the safety of others and the well-being of their neighboring businesses,” Bonnen said.

Arguing that big corporate chain stores are blocking small mom and pop operations from reopening around the state, Texas House Speaker Dennis Bonnen on Monday took to social media to talk about the way stores like Lowe’s, Home Depot, and WalMart are implementing Gov. Greg Abbott’s reopening plan.

“Take a step inside some of our largest home improvement superstores. Like me this morning, you’ll be surrounded by employees with no masks and zero regard for six feet of distancing — utterly failing at maintaining a safe capacity within the store,” Bonnen said in a Twitter rant just before lunch.
