Abbott equates airport foot-washing stations to ‘white-only bathrooms’ in letter to DOJ
The Brief
- Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says he has asked the Justice Deparment to investigate foot-washing stations at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston.
- Abbott called the stations “discriminatory” in his letter addressed to Attorney General Todd Blanche and equated them to “white-only bathrooms.”
- In the letter, the governor also took issue with a prayer room at Bush Airport that he says has “copies of the Quaran, prayer rugs, prayer beads and a turbah.”

Note that this article is from the local news station Fox4. While I’m not a fan of Fox News, this article seems to be pretty unbiased and balanced.
Fox News is a cable channel. A local Fox affiliate carries the Fox broadcast programming and produces their own local news coverage.
It gets complicated though, since this affiliate happens to actually be owned by Fox themselves, putting it under the same ownership as Fox News, albeit distantly connected.
As if Abbott wouldn't go back to segregation immediately if it was politically feasible.
