Texas House Votes To Authorize ARRESTING Democrats Who Fled The State
Let's Go!

The Republican-controlled Texas state House voted Tuesday to authorize the arrest of the Democrat lawmakers who fled the state. The Democrats fled Texas in private planes to stop Republicans from having enough legislators present to convene a vote on Election Integrity. The GOP is trying to pass election integrity bills but the Democrats are desperate to stop it. The Democrats are in Washington, D.C. trying to gin up support for their anti-election integrity programs. Governor Greg Abbott has indicated that Democrats will be arrested when they come back to Texas after the 30-day special session ends. But people close to Abbott are devising different strategies to get the Election Integrity bills passed.

“A sergeant-at-arms and any officers appointed by him are directed to send for all absentees whose attendance is not excused, for the purpose of securing and maintaining their attendance, by warrant of arrest if necessary,” stated Texas Republican House Speaker Dade Phelan.

As I reported Monday: Texas Democrat lawmakers are loading up on alcohol and fleeing the state of Texas to stop a vote on the Republican election integrity bills that are expected to pass both houses of the legislature. The lawmakers loaded up on alcohol before fleeing the state for Washington, D.C. like the cowards they are. They plan to deny Republicans a quorum, meaning the legislature will not have enough voters to convene a vote. The special session lasts 30 days, but the Democrats plan to stay in D.C. for an extended period of time.

Phelan said that he will “use every available resource under the Texas Constitution and the unanimously-passed House Rules to secure a quorum.” The Democrats can be arrested for this conduct for violating the Texas Constitution by abdicating their duty to have a 2/3 presence in the state legislature. Republicans are probably going to get the Texas Department of Public Safety to locate the fugitives and force them to return, possibly by having them arrested.

“The Democrats must put aside partisan political games and get back to the job they were elected to do,” he said in a statement. “Their constituents must not be denied these important resources simply because their elected representative refused to show up to work,” said Governor Greg Abbott, while Democrat Kamala Harris released a dumb statement supporting the fleeing Democrats.
