Texas House Democrats ran away from their jobs like cowards on Sunday. They fled to Chicago and New York instead of doing what Texans elected them to do. These liberal lawmakers abandoned their duty because they don’t like a new congressional map that follows the law.
The Democrats claim the new map is racist, but that’s just their usual playbook. They scream racism whenever they can’t get their way through normal voting. The truth is Republicans won fair elections and have every right to draw these maps according to Texas law.
Now these runaway Democrats face serious consequences for their childish tantrum. Governor Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton have issued arrest warrants for the missing lawmakers. They could face daily fines, felony fraud charges, and even removal from office for abandoning their sworn duties.
Ken Paxton made it clear that no one is above the law, not even liberal politicians. He promised to use the full force of Texas law to hold these Democrats accountable. State troopers are already looking for any Democrats still hiding in Texas.
The Democrats responded with their typical arrogance, saying “Come and take it.” This shows how little respect they have for Texas voters and our democratic process. They think they can ignore the will of the people whenever it suits them.
This redistricting fight is really about power and control. Democrats know they’re losing ground across America, so they’re trying desperate tricks to stop Republicans from gaining more House seats. They can’t win at the ballot box, so they run away instead.
The new congressional map would give Republicans five more seats in Washington. That means more conservative voices fighting for Texas values like border security, gun rights, and limited government. No wonder the Democrats are so scared they had to flee the state.
Texas voters will remember this betrayal come election time. These Democrats showed they care more about their party’s national agenda than serving the people back home. Real Texans don’t run away when things get tough, but these liberals proved they’re not real Texans at all.
