Gov. Abbott files suit to remove Democrat Caucus Chair from office over quorum break
Fox 4 DFW ^ | 8/5/25 | Mack Shaw

Posted on 08/06/2025 5:16:30 AM PDT by DallasBiff

Wu responds to Abbott's filing

The other side:

Wu later released a statement responding to Abbott, which reads in full below:

"This office does not belong to Greg Abbott, and it does not belong to me. It belongs to the people of House District 137, who elected me. I took an oath to the constitution, not a politician’s agenda, and I will not be the one to break that oath.

"Let me be unequivocal about my actions and my duty. When a governor conspires with a disgraced president to ram through a racist gerrymandered map, my constitutional duty is to not be a willing participant. When that governor holds disaster relief for 137 dead Texans and their families hostage, my moral duty is to sound the alarm — by any means necessary.

"Denying the governor a quorum was not an abandonment of my office; it was a fulfillment of my oath. Unable to defend his corrupt agenda on its merits, Greg Abbott now desperately seeks to silence my dissent by removing a duly-elected official from office.

"History will judge this moment. It will show a Governor who used the law as a weapon to silence his people, and it will show those of us who stood for a higher principle.

Gee, Mr. Wu, fleeing like a coward really represents the people.

I keep hearing that phrase from these democrats in texas.

It doesn’t belong to Trump or Abbott, it “belongs to the people” or “constituents” of Texas.

Oh really?

Then represent your people IN TEXAS, not the people in Illinois.

You don’t represent your constituents by being truant. It’s the most passive-aggressive and delinquent thing you can do.
If you want to obstruct process, then have the brass ones to stand up and be present for it.

"This office does not belong to Greg Abbott, and it does not belong to me..."

Well, Dippy, he's not eliminating the Office, he's eliminating YOU.

This is a test run. If successful, if he’ll continue with the other fifty, but all will be handled as individual cases.

It’s time to send Mr. Wu back to China. We don’t need any more idiots here than we already have.

Mr. Wu sure loves himself. He considers himself as a hero of Texas. What an egghead. Runs with his band of Cowardly Chimps and joins the Prickster’s Insane Clown Chicongo Juggalo Posse. Thankfully, Prickster has a butt wide enough for all of them to hide behind.

Now there’s some sad things known to man
But ain’t too much sadder than the tears of a clown
When there’s no one around
Woah, Wu

Can this Wu guy trace his ancestry all the way back to one of his relatives at the Alamo? He seems to forget where he is (supposed to be) located.

Curiouser and curiouser. Just who or what does this person represent, if not the constituents of the district that supposedly elected him?

Get back to Texas and represent them. Or resign and let a person who will join in the process hold the office.

Orson Welles on Mr. Wu:

"In theatre, you know, the old star actors never liked to come on until the end of the first act. Mister Wu is a classic example—I've played it once myself. All the other actors boil around the stage for about an hour shrieking, 'What will happen when Mr. Wu arrives?,' 'What is he like, this Mr. Wu?,' and so on. Finally a great gong is beaten and slowly, over a Chinese bridge, comes Mr. Wu himself in full mandarin robes. Peach Blossom, or whatever her name is, falls on her face and a lot of coolies yell, 'Mister Wu!!!' The curtain comes down, the audience goes wild, and everybody says, 'Isn't that guy playing Mr. Wu a great actor!' That's a star part for you! "
— Orson Welles discussing his appearance in The Third Man and One-Scene Wonder parts in general.

The Fox4 News video is 100% pro Dem.

DFW and FT Worth.

Poor ComDem’s moaning.

This is the 3rd time the Dem’s pulled this stunt.

They will be using money from outside the state to pay their hotel bills.

No consideration of the cost of having the Special Session held in limbo.

I know where they’re hiding here in Illinois.

And I’ve passed that information along to the appropriate people.

Head of the snake first. Someone commanded this to happen. The body either slithers back in shame or seeks new employment.
