Texas Democrats just pulled their biggest tantrum yet. Over 50 of them ran away from the state like scared children on Sunday. They fled to Chicago and New York instead of doing their jobs that Texas voters elected them to do.
These cowards are trying to block a new congressional map that would give Republicans five more House seats. The map is perfectly legal and follows all the rules. But Democrats hate it because it means they might lose power in 2026.
Here’s the really sick part. Governor Abbott called this special session to help flood victims from the deadly July disaster. Democrats are now holding disaster relief hostage just to play politics. They care more about power than helping suffering Texans.
The Democrats are crying racism like they always do when they don’t get their way. They claim the new districts hurt black and Latino voters. This is the same tired playbook they use every single time they lose an election or a vote.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton wants these runaway Democrats arrested and dragged back to do their jobs. He’s absolutely right. You can’t just abandon your post when things don’t go your way. That’s not how democracy works.
Governor Abbott is standing strong against these political games. He won’t let a bunch of sore losers stop Texas from moving forward. Abbott knows that hardworking Texans deserve leaders who show up and do the work.
This isn’t the first time Texas Democrats have run away from their duties. They did the same thing in 2003 and 2021. Each time they failed and the Republican bills passed anyway. They’re wasting everyone’s time with this childish stunt.
Texas voters will remember who stood up for them and who ran away when things got tough. These Democrat deserters just showed their true colors. Come election time, Texans will make sure these quitters pay the price for abandoning their state.
