The Dallas Democratic Party faced backlash on Sunday after soliciting care packages for the Texas Democratic lawmakers who fled the state earlier this month to prevent the state legislature from being able to do its job.
The 58 Texas Democrats fled the state because they wanted to stop the democratically-elected legislature from being able to pass bills on voter integrity, as well as a variety of other issues, including protecting girls from having to compete against biological males in school sports, protecting life in the womb, and cracking down on Critical Race Theory.
&#8220;Our Dems in DC said they’d appreciate care packages from home,&#8221; the Dallas Democrats tweeted. &#8220;Before 5pm Tues, we&#8217;re collecting Dr. Pepper, salsa, hard candy, hairspray, travel toiletries, hand sanitizers, sewing kits, first aid, and/ or $ to pay shipping. TY!&#8221;
The tweet elicited the following responses on social media:
Comfortably Smug: &#8220;They can have all their basic needs met when they go back to Texas and get sent to jail. The audacity of these people to ask for handouts when there are Americans struggling.&#8221;

Clay Travis: &#8220;The Democrats who abandoned Texas are asking for care package donations?! They are grown adults in Washington, DC refusing to do their taxpayer funded jobs. And they are surrounded by plenty of stores where they can buy whatever they want. Pathetic.&#8221;

Matt Whitlock: &#8220;Important to note that these lawmakers are still getting $221/day in per diem from taxpayers, had private flights and luxury hotel rooms paid for, and are just sitting in hotel conference rooms doing zoom meetings. If you’re feeling charitable please find a better cause.&#8221;
