Dallas Democrats Blasted For Soliciting Care Packages For TX Dems Who Fled State: ‘Pathetic’

The Dallas Democratic Party faced backlash on Sunday after soliciting care packages for the Texas Democratic lawmakers who fled the state earlier this month to prevent the state legislature from being able to do its job.

The 58 Texas Democrats fled the state because they wanted to stop the democratically-elected legislature from being able to pass bills on voter integrity, as well as a variety of other issues, including protecting girls from having to compete against biological males in school sports, protecting life in the womb, and cracking down on Critical Race Theory.

“Our Dems in DC said they’d appreciate care packages from home,” the Dallas Democrats tweeted. “Before 5pm Tues, we’re collecting Dr. Pepper, salsa, hard candy, hairspray, travel toiletries, hand sanitizers, sewing kits, first aid, and/ or $ to pay shipping. TY!”

The tweet elicited the following responses on social media:

Comfortably Smug: “They can have all their basic needs met when they go back to Texas and get sent to jail. The audacity of these people to ask for handouts when there are Americans struggling.”

Add this to the paid-for buses, private jet, and hotel rooms that the fleeing Texas Democrats accepted to withhold their vote.

Texas House Democrats are guilty of accepting a bribe to withhold their vote under the Texas Constitution, and should have their House seats vacated.

According to the Texas State Constitution:

Article 16 Section 41:

Sec. 41. BRIBERY AND SOLICITATION OR ACCEPTANCE OF BRIBES. Any person who shall, directly or indirectly, offer, give, or promise, any money or thing of value, testimonial, privilege or personal advantage, to any executive or judicial officer or member of the Legislature to influence him in the performance of any of his public or official duties, shall be guilty of bribery, and be punished in such manner as shall be provided by law. And any member of the Legislature or executive or judicial officer who shall solicit, demand or receive, or consent to receive, directly or indirectly, for himself, or for another, from any company, corporation or person, any money, appointment, employment, testimonial, reward, thing of value or employment, or of personal advantage or promise thereof, for his vote or official influence, or for withholding the same, or with any understanding, expressed or implied, that his vote or official action shall be in any way influenced thereby, or who shall solicit, demand and receive any such money or other advantage matter or thing aforesaid for another, as the consideration of his vote or official influence, in consideration of the payment or promise of such money, advantage, matter or thing to another, shall be held guilty of bribery, within the meaning of the Constitution, and shall incur the disabilities provided for said offenses, with a forfeiture of the office they may hold, and such other additional punishment as is or shall be provided by law.

While the seats are vacant, a new quorum can be reached with the sitting House. That's when they can take the vote on election reform.

The Texas Constitution is there for all to see. The question now is whether the Republicans have the nerve to act like Democrats and enforce their own Constitution to kick the fleeing Democrats out of the House that they vacated.

A public relations nightmare. They would be toast if they didn’t get 24/7 cover from the media and the masses actually heard about these jokers.

They should have been brought back in handcuffs and leg shackles on day one. Their antics are costing taxpayers.

Give those Dems boxes of “special” chocolates. The kind that will help them get fast, fast, fast relief from constipation as in Dumb and Dumber.

Yes, I was just on the verge of tearing up when I figured that out.

Like when I thought about reparations for the Black Caucus, LeBron and other NBA millionaires and Oprah Winfrey. They'll just have to collect returnable bottles and cans to get by.

Don’t they have Aquanet in DC? Or is the hairspray in a locked case that the Dims can’t get to? Why can’t they just order next day delivery on Amazon, like the rest of us shlubs?

it a Federal Case. Promise them United States Marshalls will be coming for them.
