That didn’t take long. Texas Rep. Joaquin Castro on Friday night called for Gov. Rick Perry to resign “for the sake of Texas” just hours following the announcement of Perry’s indictment on two criminal felony counts involving abuse of office.
Yeah, no. RE https://t.co/5KxGYVKGez

@JoaquinCastrotx You didn't call for Travis Cty DA's resignation after she was CONVICTED. Know difference b/w indictment & conviction?
— Matt Mackowiak (@MattMackowiak) August 16, 2014
@JoaquinCastrotx But it was ok for the drunk DA to stay in office? Seriously?

.@JimmyPrinceton @JoaquinCastrotx did the congressman call the DA with the DWI to resign?
— Gary (@garyalan82) August 16, 2014
@JoaquinCastrotx Or the legal process could be completed.

@JoaquinCastrotx @gardnerselby no fan of perry here, but that's quite a standard to set. Rep. Castro sez all indicted pols should resign?

Low information Congressman. RT @JoaquinCastrotx: For the sake of Texas, Governor Perry should resign following his indictment

@AceofSpadesHQ Should @JoaquinCastrotx be indicted for demanding Perry resign? Seems to fit this new definition of abuse of power.

@JoaquinCastrotx you ought to be ashamed by the DA's abuse of power. It's political, sick, proving y'all will do ANYTHING to destroy. #txgov

The threshold has been set. Now someone just has to indict President Obama, then @JoaquinCastrotx will call for his resignation.
— Matthew DesOrmeaux ⚜ (@authoridad) August 16, 2014
Why doesn’t @JoaquinCastrotx call for Obama to step down so America can move forward, seeing as how his scandals are a mile high.
— Brandon Morse (@TheBrandonMorse) August 16, 2014
I like how the leftist Castro bros are calling for the Governor of the most powerful state in the nation to step down so it can go forward.
— Brandon Morse (@TheBrandonMorse) August 16, 2014
What the Castro brothers want to move Texas forward to is a statewide Detroit.

Maybe @JoaquinCastrotx should go sit in quiet room & think about how silly this tweet is. https://t.co/uxEQq613EO

@JoaquinCastrotx Pump the breaks. Like RTs & endorsements, indictments & resignations don't necessarily go together. Monday we'll know more.

Castro wasn’t alone, sadly.
It's a sad day for TX when a sitting governor is indicted on criminal charges. I call on Gov Perry to step aside & allow TX to move forward.
