Texas Dems Turn Up the Theatrics, Ask for 'Care Packages' That Include Soda and Salsa

Texas House Democrats who fled the state to prevent the passage of so-called “restrictive” voting laws are now requesting that care packages — ones that will apparently include Dr. Pepper and salsa — be sent to them…

I’m sure most Americans — including these Democrats’ constituents — wish they could simply play hooky from their jobs and still be employed when they decide to go back to work.

But liberals and the establishment media want us to think these are heroic “fugitive” Democrats fighting for freedom, right?

Of course, the idea that this display is anything close to heroic is laughable.

Simply put, there is no defense for these “Democratic dramatics,” if you will.

A group affiliated with former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke already bolstered their efforts with a $600,000 donation to fund their stays in D.C., but the Democrats are determined to milk it even further.

Ironically, these lawmakers fled to D.C. to obstruct the legislative process even as their party is calling for the end of the filibuster — which gives the U.S. Senate minority party a voice during times of opposing party dominance (in this case, the Democratic Party’s dominance).

It’s not a great look from the party of “rules for thee, but not for me.” (Though it’s not surprising to anyone who remembers Democrats’ long line of hypocritical displays throughout the pandemic.)

But, I digress to say that Texas Democrats’ “helpless” image isn’t fooling anyone.

They fled Texas on their own, they garnered funding for a large portion of their stays in D.C. and now they’re calling on their constituents to bolster their egos by sending care packages.

These Democrats are within walking distance of stores and can purchase their own products, as needed.

But, by thinking they actually need these items, we’re missing the larger point.

They’ve planted the “fugitive” narrative seed with the establishment media — and they’re determined to watch it grow.
