Texas Democrats were widely mocked online at the start of this week as they fled the state to stop legitimate democratic processes from taking place in the state legislature.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/governor-abbott-democrats-who-fled-texas-to-stop-democracy-will-be-arrested-immediately-upon-return">told</a> Fox News on Monday night that Democrats who fled the state to stop the state’s legislature from voting on bills during a special legislative session will “be arrested” the moment that they step foot back in the state and hauled to the state Capitol to do their jobs.
More than 50 Democrats fled the state on private planes so there would not be enough legislators present for a variety of bills to be passed, including voter integrity laws, bills that would protect girls from having to compete against biological males in sports, fund arrests of illegal aliens, clampdown on abortion, and crackdown on racist Critical Race Theory being taught in schools.
Many online noted that the Texas Democrats brought cheap beer with them as they fled the state, eventually boarding private jets to Washington, D.C., while not wearing masks.
James Talarico was the most widely mocked Democrat after he portrayed himself as a hero was who made a &#8220;sacrifice&#8221; while he subverted democracy.
&#8220;Just landed in Memphis on our way to DC. Thank y’all for your well wishes. We left behind our families, our livelihoods, &amp; our beloved Texas. But our sacrifice is nothing compared to the sacrifices brave Americans have made throughout history to protect the sacred right to vote,&#8221; Talarico tweeted. &#8220;We’re prepared to stay out of Texas for the rest of the session. This decision wasn’t easy. Many of my colleagues left kids, elderly parents, &amp; sick loved ones. Many are risking their day jobs &amp; their seats in the House. But we won’t sit by &amp; watch democracy wither on the vine.&#8221;
