Texas House Democrats who fled the state over a redistricting vote are trying to be taken seriously while taking smiling selfies and uploading cringeworthy videos dressed up like the Unabomber and saying, "We're gonna hurt some people." They've already been given press conferences by Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul. The Texas House has passed a motion to issue arrest warrants for the missing representatives, but Pritzker will protect them as if they were criminal illegal aliens hiding out.
The Houston Chronicle has weighed in in support of the Democrats, saying that they haven't abandoned their jobs (they have) and asking, seriously, "How many children must die to make disaster recovery a priority over power-plays?"
Texas Democrats aren’t abandoning their jobs. Abbott abandoned flood victims. How many children must die to make disaster recovery a priority over power-plays? https://t.co/WvJWcE0g9n

Tying representatives fleeing the state to children killed in a flash flood to avoid a vote they know they're going to lose isn't a power-play? C'mon, man.

They are literally abandoning their jobs.

Is this a real publication or just a propaganda site? FFS!

These are totally unrelated, and really gross for the bias from an alleged “news”paper. How are yall still in business?

How, exactly, are the Democrats saving children's lives if they're not even in the state?
This is a bad take. An embarrassing bad take. A "hide-your-face-from-the-shame" embarrassing bad take.

Give me a break. What a manipulative way to spin the truth. Shame on you.

The Houston Chronicle is a rag. This article, written by an anonymous “editorial board” reads more like a high school paper temper tantrum than anything with actual editorial merit.

Low quality journalism.
You freaking monsters.

Kerr County is still in a state of emergency and the legislation is in the house to offer relief.

How many children must die just so Republicans can vote to redraw the districts? This is just ridiculous … almost as bad as Jim Acosta "interviewing" a dead Parkland student.
