As Twitchy readers know, loser-coward Texas Democrats ran from their duly elected duties because they don't like something. It's as simple as that. Instead of staying and doing their jobs, they ran to ILLINOIS, of all places, to avoid voting against redistricting in Texas. Yes, they went to the most corruptly gerrymandered state in the union to oppose ... gerrymandering.
Don't look at us, we didn't do this.
Making things even worse is the fact that these Democrats think they're heroes for running away.

Ok, so if this seat belongs to the people of Texas House District 27, he shouldn't have run away to Illinois, right?
Just sayin'.

Explain your disbarment and how you made your millions. pic.twitter.com/h8Kgezq7UB
Wow.
And the people will simply choose another that will, hopefully, sit in the seat instead of grandstanding from Illinois.

When normal people don't show up for work because they don't like their job, they get fired.
That's reality.
And that's what should happen to these Democrats who not only bailed on their jobs, but bragged about bailing. You'd think a party with a 19% approval rating would know better, but ... nope.
You abandoned your state. That's what cowards do.

"I fled Texas and abandoned my role as a State Representative because I reject Democracy. Only liberal voices should be heard in government; all others must be silenced."
Fixed it for you.
Hates gerrymandering
