Texas Democrat Who Fled to DC Tweets About Making the Rest of Us Suffer with a Mask Mandate

As Landon covered earlier today, it turns out that three of the Texas Democrats have tested positive for the Wuhan coronavirus after they and nearly 50 others fled the state to Washington, D.C., in order to deny their legislature a quorum for considering voter integrity bills.

One of the Texan Democrats who traveled was Rep. Gene Wu (D-Houston), who, as Katie highlighted, has some pretty insufferable tweets.

In his one of his more recent tweets, Wu quipped he is going to ask to ask President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to institute a mask policy, as he mockingly responded to a tweet.

While this article was being written, the tweet Wu was responding to became unavailable, as the owner deleted the account. It was of Vice President Kamala Harris speaking to the members in an indoor room, while she and others were without masks.

Despite CDC guidelines and federal mandating all passengers, regardless of vaccination status wear a mask while at the airport, on the airplane, and using other methods of travel, Wu and his colleagues all appeared without masks on their charter bus and private plan to D.C.

Wu is the member who tweeted about his first meal as a fugitive.

He's also used profanity when mocking the appearance of a Republican colleague, state Rep. Briscoe Caine, who has Asperger Syndrome.

A statement from Saturday evening indicated that Vice President Harris and staffers will not be quarantining as they "were not in close contact" and are "fully vaccinated."

For fully vaccinated people to test positive is rare, but can still happen. If they are fully vaccinated and do contract the virus, though, the case is likely to be very mild.

Wu’s tweet:

“Shout out to my brothers and sisters reminding everyone to be masked!

Airplanes.
Schools.
Concerts.
Churches.
Sports stadiums.
Grocery stores.
Gun ranges.

Let’s wear our MASKS and GET VACCINATED to STOP THE SPREAD of the Delta variant.”

Was Gene Wu vaccinated?
Did Gene Wu test positive for Covid last week?
Will Gene Wu subject himself to testing every 3 days for the next 2 weeks and quarantine?

A phony lying punk who needs to attend a blanket party as the guest of honor. Our level of tolerance is being tested daily.

Masks initially were deemed not effective except if someone has an active case of respiratory china virus—hacking, coughing, etc.

Now imagine smoking a cigarette. Would that mask prevent smoke from escaping? No. It only helps with "projectile china virus", in which case that person should not be ambulatory at all.

GFU Wu...

Dem politicians/lefties are children that refuse to grow up. I doubt if Wu has the mental-acuity and stability to play hop-scotch or get hired as a dish-washer.

Complete useless moron. I guess that’s why he became a politician. The private sector expects results. He couldn’t cut it in the private sector working hard and earning his stripes by merit. Instead, he would rather cut to the front of the line as a member of a protected class and pose as a politician... because politicians are only required to breath, told not to think, just repeat what your told and follow the herd.

How else can you make $100-150/yr doing absolutely nothing but read talking points, scam and soak the public.

All those Democrats who travelled from TX to DC on the private jet and stayed in a fancy DC hotel are guilty of taking a bribe for political purposes.

Maybe they should be thrown into jail in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day until their trials next year.

Yep! But at the same time if Abbott was a very smart governor he would immediately fault the open borders and the Democrats for bringing in the second wave of Covid. Flip the tables on them Mr. governor! CLOSE THE DAMN BORDERS!

Abbott is weak. Either West or Huffines would be stronger, I think. Abbott could’ve kicked some ass for the last six months but hasn’t done much at all.

This guy is a nasty, divisive lying jerk. He really has no business holding public office. This is a very hateful soy-boy.

I cannot believe there are people who would vote for someone like this creep.
