Texas Democrats have once again shown their true colors by running away from their jobs instead of doing the work voters elected them to do. These cowards fled all the way to Chicago rather than face a fair redistricting process that follows the law. While hardworking Texans go to their jobs every day, these Democrat politicians are hiding out in liberal Illinois.
The Republican-led redistricting plan would give Texas five more seats in Congress based on the state’s massive population growth. This is exactly how redistricting is supposed to work after the census. Democrats know they can’t win a fair fight, so they’re throwing a tantrum like spoiled children.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is fighting back hard against these runaway Democrats. He filed lawsuits to remove 13 absent state legislators who abandoned their duty to serve Texas families. This is what real leadership looks like when dealing with Democrat obstruction.
Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick and AG Paxton appeared on Hannity to expose the Democrats’ shameful behavior to the American people. They made it crystal clear that Texas Republicans won’t be bullied by these political games. The people of Texas deserve representatives who show up to work.
Governor Greg Abbott set a Friday deadline for these missing Democrats to return and do their jobs. He even asked the Texas Supreme Court to remove Gene Wu, the Democrat minority leader, from office for his role in this mess. Enough is enough with these political stunts.
The Democrats claim they’re fighting for voting rights, but they’re really just mad that Texas keeps growing more conservative. They can’t stand that more Americans are choosing to move to our great state and away from failed liberal policies. This redistricting reflects Texas’s booming population and conservative values.
These Democrat politicians are willing to shut down the entire legislative process rather than accept the will of the Texas people. They’re holding up important work on flood protection and disaster planning just to play political games. Their selfishness knows no bounds.
The Democrats say they’ll stay away until August 19th when the special session ends, proving they care more about partisan politics than serving Texans. Real patriots show up to work even when things don’t go their way. These Democrats have shown they’re not fit to represent the Lone Star State.
