Texas Democrats Issue Letter Explaining Why They Are breaking Quorum
Texas House Democrats are pulling their favorite tantrum AGAIN—ditching the state like cowards to shatter quorum and dodge their jobs on flood relief and redistricting. Because nothing says “fighting for Texans” like running away from democracy when you don’t get your way.
After weeks of whining, these so-called leaders are abandoning ship to block a fair mid-decade redraw that’s simply adjusting for reality. But sure, call it a “racist gerrymander” to silence Black and Latino voters and “steal” seats for Trump—ignore the fact that it’s about representation, not your power grab.
Texans see through it: Polls show only 15% prioritize your pet issue right now, and nearly 70% think it’s unfair for politicians (that’s YOU) to cherry-pick voters. Yet here you are, playing hooky like it’s 2021 all over again.
As Chair Gene Wu bloviates: “This is not a decision we make lightly…” Yeah, right—it’s just your go-to stunt when losing. Grow up, come back, and do the work Texans elected you for. Or keep hiding in Illinois while we get things done.
We’re not impressed by your “moral clarity”—it’s just political theater. Real leaders stay and fight, not flee like quitter
Paxton has issued a statement:
Fine for D to gerrymander Cal where Rs have 7/62 congressmen w 40 percent of the vote but turnabout is suddenly immoral. The D Blood Ticks are fleeing to Chicago --a city and state their D Blood Tick cousins have both gerrymandered and destroyed.
He makes is sound like they can ONLY do one thing at a time....oh wait, maybe that's true! I know for a fact there are residents in Harris county that STILL have not had repairs completed from Harvey!! How are we allowed to be held "hostage" by these self serving morons??
