Texas Democrats made a huge mistake when they ran away from their jobs in Austin. They thought fleeing to other states would stop Republicans from fixing the voting maps. Instead, their childish tantrum has given the GOP an even better chance to redraw districts fairly.
Rep. Briscoe Cain, who chairs the Texas House Freedom Caucus, says the Democrats completely backfired. Their delay tactics only made the Republican redistricting plan stronger. Now the GOP has more time to create maps that truly represent Texas voters.
President Trump is cheering on the redistricting effort from the White House. He told reporters that Texas could pick up five more Republican seats in Congress. Trump reminded everyone that he won Texas with the highest vote total in state history.
The runaway Democrats are hiding out in states like Illinois while real Texans do the work. Some of them even got evacuated because of bomb threats while they were playing their political games. Meanwhile, hardworking Texas families are left without representation because these lawmakers abandoned their duties.
The FBI had to get involved to track down these missing Democrats. Senator John Cornyn confirmed that federal agents were granted permission to locate the fleeing lawmakers. This shows just how far these politicians will go to avoid doing their jobs.
Cain explained that Texas desperately needs new voting maps because the state has changed so much. Millions of Americans have moved to Texas from failing liberal states like California and Illinois. Plus, Joe Biden’s open border policies have completely shifted the population.
The Democrats call this a political stunt, but they are the ones running away like cowards. Republicans stayed in Austin ready to work for the people who elected them. This is what leadership looks like when conservatives fight for fair elections.
Texas voters will remember which party showed up to work and which party ran away when things got tough. The Democrats proved they care more about their own power than serving the great state of Texas. Their escape plan failed, and now Republicans will deliver the fair maps that Texans deserve.
