Fugitive Democrats Fail On All Fronts Thanks To Governor Abbott

Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott announced plans to call for a special session of the state legislature to force a vote on a number of things – including the election integrity bill that caused Democrats to flee the state in their attempts to subvert Democracy.

In a proclamation on Thursday, Abbott called “an extraordinary session” to come together in Austin, Texas, beginning on Saturday.

Abbott noted that the session is being held in order to consider and act upon various measures, including legislation “strengthening the integrity of elections in Texas.”

Abbott’s proclamation also commented on legislation regarding the return of children to classrooms during pandemic.

It noted that the legislature will consider legislation “providing strategies for public-school education in prekindergarten through twelfth grade during the COVID-19 pandemic, which ensures … students receive a high-quality education and progress in their learning; in-person learning is available for any student whose parent wants it; the wearing of face coverings is not mandatory; and vaccinations are always voluntary.”

In a statement, Abbott said, “The Texas Legislature achieved a great deal during the 87th Legislative Session, and they have a responsibility to finish the work that was started.”

He added, “I will continue to call special session after special session to reform our broken bail system, uphold election integrity, and pass other important items that Texans demand and deserve.”

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki when asked about the special session repeated the commonly used false narrative that Republicans are trying to make it harder to vote, saying, “Our fundamental view is that if you are pushing for legislation that makes it harder and not easier to vote, that makes it less accessible, that limits the ability of people to get to the polls, to take time off to do that, then our question is, what are you afraid of here? Are you afraid of more people getting out to vote?”

Last month, Democrats fled the state of Texas to avoid holding a vote on the election integrity legislation that Abbott is calling to a vote yet again.

Democrats at the time boarded private planes to Washington, D.C. and had their own personal little vacations while avoiding their responsibilities to the state they represent.

The Democrats left Texas “so there would not be enough legislators present for a variety of bills to be passed, including voter integrity laws, bills that would protect girls from having to compete against biological males in sports, fund arrests of illegal aliens, clampdown on abortion, and crackdown on racist Critical Race Theory being taught in schools.”

“Isn’t that the most un-Texan thing you’ve ever heard? Texans running from a fight? They’re quitters,” Abbott said in response to the Dems move at the time. “It’s like during a football game or baseball game, taking their equipment when they’re way behind and just leaving the field. That is not the way that Texas, Texans do things.”

Abbott said at the time that once the Democrats got back to Texas, they would be forced to go to the state House in order to do their job and vote on the measures that they were attempting to protest.

“What the law is — it’s in the Constitution — and that is the House, the State House of Representatives who were here in the Capitol in Austin right now, they do have the ability to issue a call to have their fellow members who are not showing up to be arrested, but only so long as that arrest is made in the state of Texas,” Abbott said.

“That’s why they have fled the state. Once they step back into the state of Texas, they will be arrested and brought to the Texas Capitol, and we will be conducting business,” he added.
