Texas fleebagger Democrats mission to DC a bust

 Karen Townsend:

...

The group of Texas state Democrats who ran from their jobs as legislators to the open arms of Democrats in Washington, D.C. is beginning to splinter. They have done all that they can do – secured meetings with senators to push passage of the For the People Act in the Senate, held press conferences, given interviews on friendly cable news stations, received glowing covering in the media, fundraised off their antics, and tweeted up a storm. Still, Biden will not grant them an audience. Frustration has set in.
...

So far the biggest names they’ve secured meetings with are House Majority Whip James Clyburn and Kamala Harris. That seems like consolation prizes because Biden has no interest in wasting time with them. We’ll try to “be tactful”, too, and say that the Texas Democrats’ vacation in D.C. has turned out to be a public relations disaster. Remember, they agreed to be useful idiots for national Democrats. They were sent to Washington to pressure senators to get on board with the For The People Act that is languishing in the Senate. Instead, a desperate Biden is focusing on the passage of infrastructure legislation.

... These Texas state lawmakers are besotted with themselves. They truly believe they are heroes, saving voting rights that voters already have, but let’s not let facts get into emotional stunts. “Everything is second”, Raymond said. If ‘voting rights legislation’ dies during Biden’s administration, that will be his legacy. Changing the subject, Raymond said that instead of threatening to arrest wandering Democrats, Governor Abbott should be arresting those responsible for Texans freezing to death in February.

This is the problem for the Democrats. No one knows who they are as individual lawmakers. Texans couldn’t even identify most of them. Yet, they think they are saving the country from election integrity legislation. They have bought into the publicity and are arrogantly convinced of their own importance. The legislation in Texas that they are trying to prevent from passing actually increases early voting hours, and it deals with some concessions made during the pandemic in Harris County, such as 24-hour voting and drive-thru voting. Neither of those options was in state law and a rogue county clerk, a Democrat, decided to make his own rules in Texas’ biggest county.

As a Texan, I know these people as those I would vote against and the voter integrity laws would never stop me from voting against them.   They are a disgrace to Texas.  Their opposition to voter integrity measures makes no sense other than to facilitate vote fraud.
