A Texas House lawmaker says he believes the federal government needs to leave states to their business as much as possible amid the Lone Star state’s recent efforts to resist a number of federal actions that it considers unconstitutional.

“I think that the federal government needs to stay out of our business to the absolute extent possible. I don’t think they get paid to do a lot of the things they do, I think they get paid to provide a defense for our country, and I’m glad they do that,” Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas), former White House physician and retired Navy rear admiral, told The Epoch Times’ “CrossRoads” at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
