Gene Wu Says Texas Dems Who Fled Democracy Are Suffering Financially and Mentally for Their Cowardice

Wow, Democrat Texas Representative Gene Wu looks rough. He says he and his fellow Democrats are suffering since they chose to abandon democracy and flee to their billionaire friend JB Pritzker’s hotel in Chicago. Looks like running away from a vote on redistricting is taking its toll. Oh, well.

Texas Rep. Gene Wu, who looks like he's aged about 10 years in the last week, has what can only be seen as a cry for help on MSNBC as the entire narrative of "we'll stay as long as it takes" collapses.
"We're doing our absolute best to hold on. And it's not easy. And like you all said before, we have lots of expenses, lots of fees. People are calling in bomb threats. People are threatening to use the FBI on us. They're harassing our families back in Texas. They're trying to break into people's houses."
He adds, "This is a lot of stress on not only us, but on our families and our loved ones. We're not Republicans. We're not wealthy. Most of us are working-class people."

Here’s Wu crying to his fellow, miserable Democrats on MSNBC. (WATCH)

That’s the look of Democrats not getting their way.

Commenters say the solution is simple: stop fleeing democracy and do your job as an elected representative. Wow, it’s so easy.

Oh wow, sounds like he should probably go back and do his job instead of enduring all this heat to go on an extended vacation.
