Two of the dozens of Texas Democratic state legislators that fled to Washington, DC last month are currently on vacation in Portugal, the Texas Tribune reported.
Reps. Julie Johnson and Jessica Gonzáles and their wives planned the trip a year and half in advance and had non-refundable tickets, according to Texas Monthly reporter Jonathan Tilove....
...The news of the legislators' absence broke as more than 100 state legislators from around the country fly in for a "week of action" to promote the "For the People" Act, a sweeping voting rights bill that is currently stalled in the Senate....

“Julie and Jessica and their wives…”
I’m so confused😈
There really should be something like dereliction of duty for these clowns allowing them to be removed because sure as heck that’s what they’d do if it were reversed.
Clearly non-refundable tickets are more important than doing their jobs representing the people who elected them. Too bad those tickets aren't one-way.
Just FYI, Portugal has right now one of the highest incident rates of Covid of any European country.....especially along the coastal vacation resort areas. It’d be a pretty sure bet that a minimum of one of these people get Covid.
What part of Portugal?
Maybe Texas and Portugal don’t have extradition treaties???
“Reps. Julie Johnson and Jessica Gonzáles and their wives planned the trip a year and half in advance and had non-refundable tickets”
FLAT-OUT LIE. First, you can plan trips for as long as you want, but you cannot buy tickets more than a year in advance...and a year ago, ALL tickets were refundable.
Doesn’t matter though, no one will check it.
If we had a REAL media, one of them would hope over there for some pictures of these criminals, spending taxpayer money on their ‘vacations’
““Julie and Jessica and their wives…””
Nuts, fruits, flakes, and commies. They’re everywhere.
So do we send the Dr. Pepper and other assorted items in the care packages to Portugal?
No extradition treaty?
Wait.. I don’t want an extradition... Portugal can keep them :P
“Reps. Julie Johnson and Jessica Gonzáles and their wives”
I’m not going to let them ruin my breakfast! They are the one’s who will have to face Almighty God and try and ‘splain’ their way out of hell.
Why is it only Gov. Representatives can walk off their job, refuse to do their job, go on vacation, and not be fired? It’s apparent they are not in office to ‘serve’ the people.
I’d say they all have abandoned their job. Hire someone else who CAN do it.
Its cheaper flying to Portugal from DC than Dallas.
Agreed. They don’t need to come back.
Portugal can keep them
I like that idea ! Maybe we could do something like Israeli’s new rule - after Portugal, they have to go to an ‘amber’ country and spend 14 days infection free before they can board a flight. That should keep them out a little longer
