Now five Texas Democrats have tested positive for COVID-19 after fleeing the Lone Star state and boarding a chartered flight to Washington, D.C. More than 50 Democrats left Texas to deprive the state legislature of the necessary quorum to vote on an election overhaul bill.
People across the country have criticized the lawmakers for boarding a private flight without masks while drinking beer instead of doing their taxpayer-funded jobs.

Fox News reports:
According to the Texas Tribune, the number of COVID-positive Texas state lawmakers in the nation’s capital is now five. The news comes on the same day that Vice President Kamala Harris dropped by Walter Reed Medical Center for a “routine” visit after meeting with the group of lawmakers just last week.
The bill in question would strengthen voter ID requirements for mail-in ballots, which became a source of concern in the lead-up to, and in the aftermath of, the 2020 election.
It is unclear whether the obstruction attempt will be successful.
Texas’ Republican Gov. Greg Abbott has said he will continue to call for special sessions until the Democrats return. Abbott has also said the Democrats will be arrested when they arrive back in Texas.
Facts matter. Reckless rhetoric doesn’t.
The Texas election integrity bill doesn’t disenfranchise Texas voters.
It makes elections fair and uniform.
Anyone saying that the bill denies people the right to vote is simply lying. https://t.co/dkpxirug4F

Democrats across the country have fought back harshly against any new voting measures aimed at helping secure the integrity of future elections often restoring to pushing the false narrative that the laws seek to disenfranchise minority voters and equate to “Jim Crow 2.0.”
God punishes !
Abbott should give them a set time and date to return or their positions are open for replacement.
Right on !!
Funny thing is…. if it disenfranchises voters… doesn’t it also do that to minority republicans?
Yea,…. NOT!
Democrats don’t want any laws strengthening the integrity of voting because they wouldn’t be able to manipulate the ballots like they did in 2020 and probably have done so for a very long time! They are VERY DISHONEST AND SNEAKY SNAKES! That is the “EVIL” surfacing in those escapees and KARMA IS LOOKING FOR THEM ALL in the shape of a COVID VIRUS INFECTION!
Expect MANY MORE POSITIVE CASES COMING FROM THAT GROUP OF SNEAKY AIRHEADS, plus JAILTIME IS AWAITING THEM ALL — if they survive Covid!
FYI: it is now being discovered that people already VAXXED are getting Covid AGAIN at a higher percentage than those who never got the jab! Wake Up American’s! That jab has nasty ingredients that destroy your immunity especially if exposed to Covid virus! The VAXX destroys many of your white cells which are the cells that fight any infection!
DO NOT TAKE THOSE VACCINES! They are like Time Bombs to your body set to go off when you are exposed to Covid again! If you get Covid, the survival rate is 99.7%! Taking the VAXX, survival rate is ???
Why take the chance?
I’m hearing the same thing about ppl STILL getting covid after the vaxx. Any articles you can site to me? Have quite a few “vaxxholes” that need a hard slap of reality across their face
Well until you have seen what I have seen. If it helps some… it’s worth it. I have seen so many people suffer and die. If your obese, hypertension, diabetic. Watch out.. it likes you!!
Well you don’t get by with doing things that are not good. I hate to see anyone with covid, but they all should have to stay in DC until they have have all tested positive and along with any Democrats they were around while they were there, like in a shutdown like we deployablles…
we dont want them back. hope they givr every demorats in the white house and the house demos the china virus.
What a bunch of LOSERS, the state is better without them, recall them all !!
Their next step is to cry, stomp their feet, and scream to get the attention they seek. Running away was just the first step of their tantrum.
Violate your oath and duty, You deserve to All be recalled and made to return your salaries to the Tax Paying Legal Citizens Of Texas and pay for your own damn medical to deal with covid!…..
As a former state employee (ret.) there is a state law that requires a return of salary for each day the person is absent for PERSONAL reasons without proper permission.
These moron dim wits have worn out the most people of minorities are too stupid to obtain and present valid IDs. Even the folks they refer to are insulted. Time to change up your excuses because no one is buying the unfair to register with a valid ID excuses. Seems the dim wits get more stupid as time goes on. Arrest the runners for certain!
Good. I wish Covid would improve their intelligence because that is where they need the most help.
Now have these punks on lockdown and quarantine for the next 18 months like we the people were. Let’s see how that works for them…
dumercrats are always against any thing that prevents them from cheating. That’s the only way they can win.
Democrats don’t want to vote on solid Voter ID laws, fraud is the only way they can win elections now.
In the military this is called AWOL, absent without leave, and is punished severly.
They went from safe Texas to toxic DC
what a blessing.
hit the right People.
And in 3, 2, 1…. If it weren’t for Trump being a racist, and then the state of Texas passing these voter suppression and racist laws, we wouldn’t have got COVID…
Can’t ya hear em now?
Awww I’m crushed
Instead of Typhoid Mary, we have the absconding Democrats from Texas becoming Covid Mary and Covid John!
Well at least six of them met Karma! Couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch!
Guess they are avoiding being arrested, back in Texas, as their Gov said he would do. Meanwhile they are a disgrace to the people that voted them in!
spread virus all over DC OK Thanks & we can dump Deep State 2
