Texas House Democrats proved once again they hate democracy when they can’t get their way. Over 50 Democratic lawmakers abandoned their jobs and fled to other states like scared children. They left Texas taxpayers high and dry just to block a perfectly legal redistricting vote.
The cowardly Democrats are trying to stop Republicans from redrawing congressional maps that could flip five House seats red. This redistricting is completely normal and happens every decade after the census. But Democrats would rather throw tantrums than follow the law.
Governor Greg Abbott is fighting back hard against these deserters. He ordered Texas police to arrest any Democrat who abandoned their duty to the people. Abbott threatened to remove the fleeing lawmakers from office for betraying their oath.
The rich hypocrisy is stunning to watch. These same Democrats spent years screaming about Republicans being anti-democracy. Now they literally run away when they lose fair and square. They’re hiding in liberal states like New York and Illinois begging for help.
Texas voters elected Republicans to control the legislature for good reasons. These districts need to reflect how real Texans actually vote. Democrats can’t stand that their radical agenda keeps losing at the ballot box.
This pathetic stunt shows exactly why Americans don’t trust Democrats anymore. When things get tough, they quit and blame everyone else. Meanwhile, hardworking Texans still need their representatives doing the job they were elected to do.
President Trump and Texas Republicans are simply following the constitution and protecting election integrity. Democrats calling this racist proves they have no real arguments left. They’re just desperate to cling to power they never deserved.
Governor Abbott must hold these runaway Democrats accountable for betraying Texas families. Every day they stay gone costs taxpayers money and blocks important business. It’s time to replace these quitters with patriots who actually show up to work.
