Texas House Passes Motion to Issue Arrest Warrants for Dems Who Fled State › American Greatness . . . "During an appearance on CNN, Monday afternoon, Texas Republican state Rep. Brian Harrison accused his Democrat colleagues of hypocrisy for protesting the GOP’s redistricting plan, pointing out that Democrats are notorious for their redistricting shenanigans.
"Holding up the Democrats’ ... gerrymandered map, he exclaimed: “The HYPOCRISY and dishonesty of what he’s saying. I’m going to hold this up. Can you see this? Do you see this? Did CNN have [JB Pritzker] on to explain Illinois 13 – this pinky finger that goes across the ENTIRE STATE – that was 100 percent drawn for partisan political purposes!”
" 'But I haven’t seen anything that CNN or pretty much any of the other major networks bringing him on or the Democrats in his legislature that drew a map with districts that are FAR more gerrymandered than anything that the House that the Texas maps we’re contemplating look like here today.”
" 'So it’s the rank hypocrisy that’s my problem and the dishonesty and the faux outrage,” Harrison continued. “They’re not mad that states are redistricting for partisan purposes. They’re mad that a Republican state is doing it.” . . .
New: Texas House Passes Arrest Warrants for Democrats Who Fled, Gov. Abbott Takes Immediate Action – RedState
. . . "In 2021, when Texas Democrats pulled this same stunt, they eventually returned of their own volition to provide the quorum, avoiding arrest. Frankly, if I were Abbott, I wouldn't be that kind this time around. The moment they set foot back in the state, he should have them arrested regardless of whether they are pledging to return to the chamber. The time to make an example of them is now, or this will just keep happening every few years when a contentious issue comes up." . . .
