Texas Governor Greg Abbott says that the state Democrats who fled to Washington, D.C. in a move to avoid voting on the state’s new election bill will be arrested when they return. The Texas Governor says that Dem’s choice to flee the state to deprive the Legislature of the needed quorum to conduct the vote will face consequences.
According to Fox News:
“Once they step back into the state they will be arrested and brought back to the Capitol and we will be conducting business,” he said.
“We have special sessions that last 30 days,” Abbott said. “And the governor calls them, and I will continue calling special session after special session because over time it is going to continue until they step up to vote.”
As they arrived in Washington Monday evening, the lawmakers said they would not be swayed.
“We are determined to kill this bill,” said state Rep. Chris Turner, who said he and his colleagues were prepared to run out the clock on a special session that ends early next month.
This is the second walkout Texas Democrats have staged over the elections bill. Democrats claim it will make it more difficult for minorities to vote while Republicans argue it will act as a safeguard against fraud.
However, the situation in Texas and D.C. is still developing by the hour as Governor Abbott tries to pull a quorum together in Austin, TX.

All Democrats are worthless idiots and should be thrown out of the government immediately and permanently!
Firing squad or simply deport them to Mexico or California
we’ve got enough kooky operators in California … please spare us further burden!
Make a example out of these democrats
Maybe it’s time the military step in and take apart this radical extreme left wing communist regime.
They were never held responsible, now they think they are untouchable.
The laws aren’t applicable to them cuz they make them up
Agreed, if not jailed for there crime’s against we the people
It’s just another childish act that the democrats continuously pull rather than represent the people.
They don’t like something so they throw their hissy fits,kick,- scream,& throw themselves on the floor like the spoiled children that they are!
DISGUSTING!!!!!!!
6 year olds. They are socialist/communist Democrats who are ruining our country. The giggle queen called them patriotic. Of course she met with the, the last time they ran off and didn’t do their job. Harris needs to be investigated for treason.
The Democrats should be in jail. They are all worthless human beings and we don’t want them in our Texas government. We want a voting law that is legal and not corrupt.
The ppl will have to unite and take care of business
Time for the Texas governor to step up and pull a Biden write an Emergency voting order with the three strikes and your out and fire all of the Demo RATS who do not show up for the third round of voter legislation!!!
In his writ he should add in performance pay legislation to all legislators so if they refuse to vote on any legislation at all in the future their pay will be docked!
Their pay is pennies compared to what the elites are giving them to kill our country and it’s ppl
LAZY…..Irresponsible…..Demoncrap Toddler Tittybabies……sucking off the government teat…!!
These ass holes should have been arrested along time ago
These Democrats are such poor examples of who should be representing Congress. I can’t even stand to look at them. The Governor has every legal right to have them arrested.
I would bet not one of those democrats is a native Texan.
All have committed treasonous acts towards American citizens and should be dealt with Appropriately. This is truth and everyone knows it.
Good for Gov. Abbott! This DemonCrat ploy is the most childish, asinine tactic I have seen, but I am grateful to have seen it, for it shows their true yellow streak. A four-year old throwing a temper tantrum is just about as mature.
don’t live in TX and would like to know if there is a majority of state republicans that can approve the bills without the democrats?
This is the demOrats play book – collude, obstruct justice, deflect onto others, lie, flee and justify yourself with racist or sexist response as they have nothing else
