As you know by now, Texas House Democrats are on a private jet, maskless, headed to Washington, D.C. to deny a quorum to House Republicans to vote on “voter restrictions” (note that every headline uses the term “voter restrictions”). They’re doing this to avoid a vote they know they’ll lose, and yet Vice President Kamala Harris came out in support of them for standing for the rights of Texans “to express their voice through their vote.” How is preventing a vote allowing Republican representatives to express their voice?
VP Harris praised Texas House Democrats who fled the state in protest of voter restrictions proposed by House Republicans:
“I applaud them standing for the rights of all Americans and all Texans to express their voice through their vote.”https://t.co/F5GF7Jc7FH

They're standing up for the right to vote by NOT voting?

Has the coalition of the "very concerned" weighed in on this yet?

She’s so bad at this.

What’s the point of expressing your voice if the legislators you elect just walk off the job https://t.co/cclDVSveiR

They literally aren’t expressing their voice through their vote though that’s the entire point of the stunt they’re pulling is so that they don’t vote. https://t.co/rEHD8nM80f

Democrats trying to keep up with whether they’re anti or pro on the issue of “minority rule” must be suffering some serious vertigo right about now https://t.co/9LlHZvwpRT

Dems can stop whining about the filibuster now that party leaders have endorsed far more extreme tactics to block legislative chambers from operating. https://t.co/geyfwEegpg

I'm glad to see the VP so wholeheartedly endorse the filibuster. 👍 https://t.co/yS7gamAyAN

Great! The VP agrees. Who needs the filibuster when you can run away from a quorum. The precedent is now set and the VP applauds.

The absolutely irony of this quote 😂

They abandoned their jobs and their constituents, Kamala. If the parties were reversed, you and Joe would send your FBI foot soldiers to hunt down every one of them.

What’s that word again for delaying a vote the majority wants? https://t.co/gCF1aBCeCv

So she's against the legal filibuster being used by the minority in the Senate to stop legislation but for the TX Dems illegally leaving the state to stop legislation they don't like. This is hypocrisy at its most raw & most disgusting. Americans hate hypocrites. https://t.co/X0eCu6pVhP

@VP praises Democrats flying on private jets, without masks denying service for the citizens who elected them. #Frauds

The people of Texas elected those representatives, both Republicans and Democrats, to vote on legislation. How does this stunt give Texans who voted for Republicans a voice in the legislature?
