Two Texas Dems Who Fled to Block Voting Bills Reportedly Vacationing in Portugal
Martin Walsh August 4, 2021

Rules for thee, but not for me.

Two Texas House Democrats who fled to Washington, D.C., last month to block Republican voting bills are reportedly vacationing in Portugal.

Last month, roughly 60 Democrat members of the state House of Representatives fled Texas to Washington D.C. to block Republicans from advancing new voting laws through a special session of the legislature.

Now, after claiming they were in D.C. to “protect our democracy,” two Democrats have apparently fled to Portugal for vacation.

The Texas Tribune reported:

    The Texas House Democratic Caucus could not account Tuesday for two of the members who broke quorum and fled for Washington, D.C., over Republicans’ priority elections bill, while a Texas Monthly reporter said the members were on vacation in Portugal.

    State Reps. Julie Johnson of Farmers Branch and Jessica González of Dallas were not with other House Democrats on Tuesday in the nation’s capital, according to a person familiar with the situation.

    On Tuesday evening, Texas Monthly reporter Jonathan Tilove tweeted that he “can confirm [Johnson] and her wife & [González] and her fiancé are in Portugal for a vacation they had been planning, with non-refundable tickets, for a year-and-a-half.”

I love it, if ANYONE...still follows their laws or constitution.  They need some PUNISHMENT.  They abandoned their post.  The WHOLE reason for them being there!

Doubt very much that Abbott will put up with this very obvious F**k You! to him, to the State of Texas, and to the Rules of Order from the Democrats.

Something is already happening ... even right now as we speak. These Goobers need to be taught that they aren't in California/New York anymore.
