To hell with this MAGAt scum!

Ex-Yankee Mark Teixeira will be running for Texas' 21st Congressional District in the U.S. House. His announcement follows Rep. Chip Roy’s decision not to seek re-election as he runs for the office of the Texas Attorney General. 

Teixeira released an official statement on social media, saying he’s "ready to help defend President Trump’s America First agenda, Texas families, and individual liberty."

"As a proud Texan and lifelong conservative who loves our country, I’m ready to fight for the principles that make Texas strong and America exceptional," the statement read. "It takes teamwork to win, and I’m ready to help defend President Trump’s America First agenda, Texas families, and individual liberty."

"Never thought I’d hear myself say it, but just this once, stick to sports," wrote one user.

Another X user wrote, "Mark Teixeira being a MAGA POS doesn’t surprise me one bit."One user even went so far as to call Teixeira a "bad person," in response to his run as a Republican.  

"Did not know Mark Teixeira was a bad person but here we are," that user wrote.

Teix: An Academic All American Teammate

Mark Teixeira refers to a John Donne poem in a New York Times quote regarding his fellow Yankees standing by ARod & his hot pee. Somewhere in Annapolis, a High School English teacher is disgruntled no more.

“There’s no question I’ll be there,” said the Yankees’ new first baseman, Mark Teixeira...I’m going to open my arms for Alex and be there for him. He’s not on an island. A lot of people think this is going to tear the team apart. I think it’s going to bring the team together.”

I bet the only poem Ole Golden Thong knows starts out, "Hickory Dickory Dock, some chick was suckin' my $#$*..."

Movement!

Teixeira deal done.
