Not too far from truth. A Texas Republican made a similar claim during the pandemic, to keep the economy going (read no masks, no vax), grand parents need to die since the elderly were at a higher risk to die from Covid.

I recall reading this then and looked for it, though had forgotten it was none other then the Lt. Governor.

Texas' lieutenant governor suggests grandparents are willing to die for US economy

Quote:
“No one reached out to me and said, ‘as a senior citizen, are you willing to take a chance on your survival in exchange for keeping the America that all America loves for your children and grandchildren?’” Patrick said. “And if that’s the exchange, I’m all in.”
Guess he did not check with the other grandparents.
