Former Texas Governor Rick Perry said that Texans would rather continue to freeze in their homes without electricity than to allow the federal government more involvement in the state's energy grid.
“Texans would be without electricity for longer than three days to keep the federal government out of their business,” Mr Perry said on a blog on House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy's website.
Mr McCarthy said the comment was "partially rhetorical."
The comment comes as millions of Texans are without power during an unprecedented winter storm dropping temperatures to single digits.
