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.
