Texas Democrat Compares Threat Of Arrest After Fleeing State To Being A "Slave"
Democrat Texas State Representative Senfronia Thompson compared a threat from Governor Greg Abbott to have her and her colleagues arrested when they return to Texas to the plight of being a “slave” on the run.
Last week, a group of over 50 lawmakers took a flight out of state to Washington, D.C. to avoid voting on Republican election integrity bills in the state legislature.
Abbott almost immediately warned that “once they (the Texas Democrats) step back into the state they will be arrested and brought back to the Capitol.”
“We refuse to be a hostage, to remain a hostage within the state of Texas,” Thompson said at a press conference in Alexandria, Va. late last week.
“And I know that there are search warrants out for us. I’m ready to be arrested,” she continued. “What do you do to a slave if you don’t do nothing but arrest them when they flee?”
