Runaway Texas Democrat compares GOP voter bill to “child abuse”

A Texas Democrat made the most absurd statement when defending himself and his colleagues from fleeing the state:

 
Texas Democrat Richard Raymond actually suggests to Cavuto that he might just flee the state too if he were elected there and the other party was passing a bill legalizing child abuse.

What an absurd and completely false comparison. These Democrats will say anything to try and take the moral high ground when we all know they are standing in the sewer.

And even more shameful, the media is flocking to their cause. Here’s a piece by the AP today which reads as if it were written by these Texas Democrats themselves:

Sheltered in a downtown D.C. hotel, the Democratic lawmakers who left Texas to block a restrictive voting bill are living a life of stress and scrutiny.

After bolting the state Monday in order to sabotage the bill by denying a quorum in the Texas House of Representatives, the more than 50 state legislators find themselves balancing a punishing schedule of political lobbying, outside work and family obligations, all under a national spotlight.

Many have left young children behind; most have other professional obligations back in Texas. All seem to be operating on minimal sleep.

“It’s surreal,” said Rep. Gene Wu of Houston. “I can’t even describe to you how weird it has been.”

Wu said he realized just how big a story their exodus had become when they arrived via private plane at Dulles airport on Monday. He overheard a group of German tourists talking in the airport about the fugitive Texas legislators.

What is surreal is how these Democrats are being hailed by the media when obstructing versus how the media is all-in on supporting the removal of the filibuster, which is seen as the only Republican means of obustructing in the Senate.

In related news, here are other House Democrats marching so that black women have the right to vote….or something:

If we had a fair media in this country, these idiots would never be able to get away with this.
