Texas Democrats Who Fled the State Are Being Funded by Beto O'Rourke and a Legendary Musician

As Texas Democrats live out the words of a Willie Nelson song, the country music legend is among those chipping in so that Democratic legislators who fled the state do not have to return to Texas, where a vote on election integrity awaits.

Nelson’s “On the Road Again” could serve as the soundtrack for the flight of Democrats, with these lyrics:

We’re the best of friends Insisting that the world keep turning our way And our way Is on the road again.

Democrats who are determined to avoid having to sit in the legislative chamber while Republicans pass election reforms with which they disagree fled Texas on Monday as a tactic to deny the GOP the quorum needed to pass any legislation. A similar stunt in 2003 delayed but did not torpedo redistricting legislation.

Nelson and former Democratic Rep. Beto O’Rourke are among those helping defray the costs of Texas Democratic legislators who are ensconced at the Washington Plaza Hotel in D.C., where they have vowed to suffer in four-star surroundings until the special session called by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott expires, according to The Dallas Morning News.

Pretty sure it's Mrs beto's money. Willie? Toke 'em if you got 'em. He's been a dumbass longer than me.

[arkfreepdom]

What a punk Willie is. Ask people who work music venues. Plus he cancels frequently.

[Dilbert San Diego]

I heard someone say their fleeing Texas, is similar to the Selma voting rights march.

Flying on the private jet to a four star hotel in Washington, all expenses paid, is the same as getting beaten on the Edmund Pettus Bridge, according to that thinking.

I’ll never smoke weed with Willie again.

[mewzilla]

I’m willing to bet those two are laundering the money for someone else...

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

Waylon was the only true patriot of the highwaymen

Willie Nelson is such a jerk. They say, dance with the one that brung ya, and he’s too much of a jerk to even pretend to like the people who supported him and got him where he is now.

[RatRipper]

Did Willie ever get his back taxes paid up???

[P-Marlowe]

Isn’t that bribery?

[farming pharmer]

Just another dumb-assed pot head like so many others....

[Dacula]

I was in the movie Barbrosa with Willie and Gary Bussey.

I’ll never smoke weed with Willie again.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

It is time for that wastrel Nelson to check out permanently. The show is over. And I know another chump who is a fatal skateboard accident waiting to happen. The sooner, the better.

[Howie66]

Okay. Good to know that Willie is one who is opposed to Voter Integrity. He obviously believes that our Vote doesn’t amount to a bucket of spit.

[1Old Pro]

Willie is a nasty guy, figures he’s an activist Leftist.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

The difference between Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson is that Johnny was straight up, and someone I respected and admired.

On the other hand, Nelson is just someone.

[a fool in paradise]

I think so, he didn’t want to burn bridges with bankruptcy.

i think a number of “artists” did financial obligation albums and tours to pay off their debts.

[a fool in paradise]

Willie counts on voting Democrat for the next 50 years.
