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.”

Let's just ignore the fact that DFW Airport has 5 chapels. Greg Abbott is a little piss baby.
They also have had 3 foot washing stations for years
As a white person, I would love to be able to wash my stinky feet after wearing shoes for 12+ hours. Can we get these in every airport please?
Because he's a fucking idiot and knows his supporters dont know there are already foot washing stations at DFW. They were simply adding more to accommodate the demand.
The same idiots would be incenced if they saw a Muslim washing their feet in the bathroom sink.
They just don't want Muslims around.
And to add to the irony Abbott has spent the last 10 years courting Indians and Middle Eastern people to Texas to work and live. Now they're all in an uproar that there's large Indian communities and Muslims building mosques
His supporters should use them also, maybe they’d have less ingrown toenails.
So… They’re “discriminatory” because they’re not racist in the favor of white Christians?
Because they pierce your solipsistic delusion?
What a weird way to tell the world you don't wash your feet...
You can tell if someone is christian, because their feet stink to high heaven.
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.
This local Fox station is has always been unbiased and fair in reporting
Agreed. They're usually my go-to for news here in DFW. Clarice Tinsley is the 🐐.
