The cowardly Texas state Democrats aka the fleebaggers are so afraid of the voting rights bill in the Texas state House that they fled the state and their constituents for Washington D.C. in order to block quorum so that the bill could be passed. Democrats in Texas and all over the country are really afraid of making elections more secure, that they can’t win another fair election. What a bunch of dirtbags, cowards and communists. This of course isn’t anything new for Texas communist Democrats. They’ve pulled the stunt before.
Oh, BTW. Why do I have to wear a mask on my flights, but not the Texas fleebagger Democrats?

Democratic members of the Texas state legislature have fled the state for the second time this year to deny Republicans a quorum to pass voting integrity legislation — flying maskless to Washington, DC, undermining a vote on the right to vote.
The Democrats claim that they are defending democracy. But they are, in fact, subverting it — as Democrats have done for nearly two decades, setting the disruptive precedent that rioters infamously followed at the U.S. Capitol on January 6.
The spectacle of runaway Democrats — memorably dubbed “fleebaggers” in 2011, a play on the pejorative term used by Democrats and establishment media figures to describe the conservative Tea Party — has a long and ignoble history.
The tactic was first tried in 1924, during a mutual standoff in Rhode Island in which Democrats, in the minority, refused to allow Republicans to conduct business, and so the Republicans went to Massachusetts in protest. But the runaway tactic has been typically used by Democrats in recent decades — often with the enthusiastic support of the establishment media.
In 2003, Texas Democrats fled in a failed attempt to prevent Republicans from passing redistricting legislation. 52 Texas House members went to Oklahoma for a week, then 11 Texas Senate members spent 46 days in exile in New Mexico. Their effort failed when party unity cracked, as one of the “Texas Eleven” decided to return home and break the logjam.
In 2011, Democrats tried the tactic in several different states as a reaction to Tea Party-driven conservative wins in the 2010 midterm elections.
