Texas Dem Lawmakers Who Fled State to Showboat in DC Get Bad News as the Official Results Come In
The Western Journal ^ | July 18, 2021 at 6:05am | Isa Cox

After fleeing their state on a private jet — unmasked and equipped with at least one case of beer — to avoid voting on an election integrity bill that would otherwise easily pass the state’s Republican majority, three fully vaccinated Texas Democratic lawmakers have tested positive for COVID-19.

Because of course they have.

Here’s the backstory, ICYMI: On Monday, the majority of the Texas state House Democrats and a few state Senators flew off — in a private jet — to Washington D.C., to deprive the House of a quorum and forestall a vote on a Republican election integrity bill.

They hadn’t even left the ground before they began disseminating evidence to the world that this was all a big dramatic, self-aggrandizing stunt.

Democrats are desperate.

Desperate to turn Texas blue.

If they can turn Texas, they will win all presidential elections, forevermore.

Texas is the big prize. They will try to take that prized, whatever it takes. Those Texas ‘legislators’ take their marching orders from the Pelosi and Schumer and from the Biden administration.

And that is why they are flooding Texas and other red states with illegals..to turn those states blue..if Texas turns blue due to illegals, they can make them all citizens and they will be able to vote legit..wouldn’t matter if voter ID was the rule nationwide, illegals would be given drivers licenses and they will vote..all of them, Democrat of course

The TX Senate allows filibusters but not the House. They do have a quorum rule, however. Absences require an excuse, but I’m not sure what the penalty is.

This is nothing but a ploy to avoid investigation and arrest. If Abbott and Paxton want my vote their better be real consequences for these criminals. Paxton needs to start a massive never ending investigation on the money involved in this stunt. Then start issuing subpoenas, making arrests and putting people behind bars. Texas voters should demand accountability.

Texas hasn’t been in the RED column for many years.
It was in the democratic wing for years.
