"This session has been very, very difficult," said Rep. Celia Israel, D-Austin. "There are enough of us here who remember a time in Texas when respect and decorum ruled the day." Those rules flew out the House door when a group of protesters crashed the chamber's gallery Monday, chanting opposition to the so-called sanctuary cities ban. Legislators approved a bill this year that would force local governments to enforce federal immigration laws, what opponents call a show-me-your-papers law.

"This session has been very, very difficult," said Rep. Celia Israel, D-Austin. "There are enough of us here who remember a time in Texas when respect and decorum ruled the day."

So, Democrats, who are siding with uncivil, law/rules breakers, are upset that people were being uncivil? Huh.

@Mavdog @Texan This fake news campaign is fabricated by the right wing in order to confuse people. It was invented by Harry Truman, the one term republican president who said "if you can't convince them, confuse them. Don't buy it.

These domestic terrorists should have been given a 3-second choice of walking out quietly under arrest or be tasered or stun-gunned until unconscious and dragged out.

Deport them and bar them from ever reentering.

What’s new.
This is all the ctrl left is good at now a day. Disrupting, threatening, and physically attacking anyone they don’t think agree with or shut down their free speech. And the media want to focus on the “bullet in your head” comment but love to turn a blind eye to the physical attack and verbal threats made against the Republican law maker Renaldi just because he had the PAID demonstrators removed by ICE.
The left is like how dare you fight back against us!!

And there was a school book, I kid you not, that had Columbus coming to America in ................. 1500. Well, there goes the old nursery rhyme. Maybe the Dr. Smith version for those who remember an old, old episode (like all of them) of “Lost in Space”.

In 1493 Columbus sailed the deep blue sea...

This is all Hillary Clinton’s fault. If she hadn’t lost the election, this never would have happened /sarcasm
