If you’re not familiar with Michelle Beckley, Michelle Beckley wants to change that.
The Democratic Texas state representative would like to become a household name, but she can’t do it without your help:
My name is Michelle Beckley. I’m one of the brave Texas Democrats who came to D.C. to fight for voting rights in my state. Now, I’m fighting to flip a seat held by an anti-democracy Republican.
I have 28,500. Can you help us get to 50,000 followers?

“For those asking.” Anyone else getting “much-anticipated” vibes right now?
But we digress. Because as lame as her begging for contributions is, her begging for Twitter followers is even sadder. Especially because she’s touting her own stunning bravery to do it.

When you refer to yourself as "brave" for flying to D.C. to visit the Capitol and take some pictures: https://t.co/PtBdXc898k pic.twitter.com/qHwLKoP7p8

Private planes, posh DC receptions and expensive hotels are such a hardship.

Hey, don’t mock her! It takes a whole lotta bravery to get on a private jet and risk other people’s lives the way Michelle Beckley did.

If you had any remaining question whether the Texas Democrats’ stunt was about raising money and publicity, you actually have members announcing runs for their next office from hotel rooms in Washington.

What’s “brave” about walking off your job and pretending to do something NOBODY asked you to do, just so you could take a free trip to DC? https://t.co/OvCjBh3XHr

If you have to tell people what you did was "brave," it's a pretty good bet that it wasn't brave at all.

You’re referring to yourself as “brave”? Oh, to have the self-confidence of a Texas Democrat.

Actual Medal of Honor recipients don’t refer to themselves as “brave”….take ALL the seats 🙄

"Brave"? The protesters in Cuba are brave. You're just AWOL from your job and you're gonna get trounced.
