The Democrats are doubling down on keeping their Texas colleagues out of the Lone Star State, thus preventing the Texas legislature from having a quorum and voting on redistricting the state.
This is how the Democrats view democracy, of course: it's only good when they win.
Now, Dem Chair Ken Martin is in Chicago to meet with the scofflaw members of his party.
WATCH:
Just made it to Chicago. I’m heading to meet with the Texas Democrats who broke quorum to stop Trump and Abbott’s gerrymandering scheme.

It's a total mystery as to why the Democrats' approval rating is in the gutter. Total. Mystery.

Look at District 13.
"scheme" LOL. I guess it's only a "scheme" when red states redistrict. 🤡🤡🤡

When Democrats do it, it's 'fairness' and 'equity.'
You didn’t fight. You ran away.

YUP.
The lawless cowards? Why would you want to do that when you’re polling in the gutter?

Because this is who they are.
You have to love a guy that is too dumb to know him vlogging from Terminal 1 at ORD is in one Illinois District when he probably landed on one of the runways of another district. 🙄🤡. https://t.co/Gj8itgM15S pic.twitter.com/o2otsepJUp

The place to fight is in the courts, not by running away.
There is no 4th Branch of Government/Department of Fleeing https://t.co/Biil2ID4n2
They won't fight in the courts because they know they'll lose.
Ah Yes Chicago the place that destroys the voting power of an entire state https://t.co/Kmst6TbCXq pic.twitter.com/01UKQ5gDdz
