Straus was first elected to Speaker of the Texas House in 2009 when a "gang of 11" turncoat Republicans joined with all 65 Democrats to oust the current conservative speaker. Straus then appointed Democrats to 16 of the House's 34 chairmanship positions. He was able to undermine the conservative agenda of the Republican majority.

As is typical, the left has tried to brand Christians who oppose Straus as anti-Semitic as he is of the Jewish faith. It has nothing to do with his support of abortion. This is kind of analogous to playing the race card.
