CHUTZPAH! Fleeing Texas Dems Sue Gov. Abbott For Emotional Distress – The Lid

Several Texas Democrats from the state legislature decided that instead of accepting defeat on a voting security bill bound for law, they would simply leave the Lone Star State to deny a quorum and stop the vote from happening. The maneuver forced the state’s Governor, Greg Abbott, to threaten to arrest them upon their return, not to send them to jail but to bring them directly to the Texas House chamber, so they complete their responsibility.  

As these cowardly lawmakers are living in a quality Washington DC hotel, some of them are suing Abbott over the emotional distress that their own decisions have caused them.
