Governor Greg Abbott of Texas also wasn’t pleased or amused with the stunt that Democrats pulled. In fact, Abbott even stated last week that the lawmakers who fled the state to hold up legislation would face arrests, upon their returns.
Vice President Kamala Harris later met with the group of Texas Democrats. Like other leftists, Harris praised the lawmakers for leaving the Lone Star State; she even compared their behavior to that of America’s civil rights leaders from the past.
Amid news that several of these Democrats tested positive for coronavirus, the vice president will not go into quarantine. According to Harris’ office, she did not have direct contact with the individuals who later tested positive for the virus.
Holding lawmakers accountable
Many Americans are of the view that the aforementioned Texas Democrats should face penalties for their actions. People have pointed out that other folks don’t get to simply walk off the job and still get paid.
Others noted that Democrats would flip out if a group of GOP lawmakers fled a state to stall Democrat-led bills.
