The nearly 60 Democratic lawmakers who fled Texas to stonewall a pair of Republican-backed voting bills “will be arrested” upon return to the state, Gov. Greg Abbott said on Monday.
Earlier in the day, at least 58 legislators in the state’s House of Representatives left Austin to paralyze the chamber until they return to the Texas Capitol. The majority of the lawmakers boarded private planes to Washington, D.C., to rendezvous with federal officials after their GOP colleagues pushed two bills that would ban certain ballot-casting processes and require more identification for voting.
“What the law is, it’s in the Constitution, and that is the House, the state House of Representatives, who were here in the Capitol, in Austin right now, they do have the ability to issue a call to have their fellow members who are not showing up to be arrested, but only so long as that arrest is made in the state of Texas,” Abbott said Monday. “That’s why they have fled the state.”
“Once they step back into the state of Texas, they will be arrested and brought to the Texas Capitol, and we will be conducting business,” he said on Fox News.
GREAT > then Arrest the Democrats in Congress & the White House !!!!! SOLVED
On a pole tarred and feathered no doubt. That’s about how ridiculously vengeful and mob psychotic ALL this has become.
If I were in Texas I wouldn’t want them back. If I lived in any one of their districts I would impeach them out of office and vote in someone who will work and do the job.

No more passes, execute them!
Treason !!!! Charge them ALL !!!!!
