Gov. JB Pritzker Says He’ll Protect Fleeing Texas Dems From Arrest – Twitchy

Just a couple of hours ago, the Texas State House of Representatives moved to issue arrest warrants for the Democratic representatives who had fled to Illinois, the most ridiculously gerrymandered state, to deny a quorum so the House could vote on a redistricting plan that the Democrats know they’re going to lose.





It sounds like Gov. Greg Abbott’s threat to vacate their seats if they weren’t in them by 3 p.m. Monday has been pushed back by the House until 1 p.m. Tuesday.

They found open arms in Chicago, where Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker promised to protect them from arrest, as if they were illegal aliens or something.

The Hill reports:

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) said Sunday that his state would protect Texas Democrats who fled to the Prairie State over GOP efforts to redraw the Lone Star State’s congressional maps.

“They’re here in Illinois. We’re going to do everything we can to protect every single one of them and make sure that — ’cause we know they’re doing the right thing, we know that they’re following the law,” Pritzker told reporters at a press conference Sunday night held alongside the Texas state lawmakers.

As The Hill mentioned, Pritzker hosted the errant Democrats at a press conference Sunday night, where they declared this was not a game.





Texas House Democrats pulled the same stunt in 2021, fleeing to Washington, D.C., and we all know how well that turned out for them.
