Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) pledged Monday that every Texas Democratic lawmaker who fled the state in an act of political theater would be promptly arrested upon their return to the Lone Star State.

The Democrats chartered two private planes and traveled to Washington, D.C., where they planned to lobby Congress to pass the "For The People Act," a sweeping election reform bill championed by congressional Democrats and President Joe Biden.

"What the law is, it's in the [Texas state] Constitution, and that is the House, the State House of Representatives who were here in the Capitol in Austin right now, they do have the ability to issue a call to have their fellow members who are not showing up to be arrested, but only so long as that arrest is made in the state of Texas," Abbott explained.

"That's why they have fled the state. Once they step back into the state of Texas, they will be arrested and brought to the Texas Capitol, and we will be conducting business," Abbott promised.

Earlier in the interview, Abbott called the stunt the "most un-Texan thing you've ever heard."

"It's really the worst thing you can say about a Texan: They're so afraid they're running away from a fight that they were hired by their voters to do,"

JUST IN - Texas House votes to send law enforcement to find the dozens of absent Democrats, "under warrant of arrest if necessary," for blocking voter integrity legislation.

I wish we had a Gov like that here in Commie CO. The fortunate Texans have a Gov with balls the size of cannon balls, ours - none.

I noticed that the pictures of these treasonous bastards were not wearing masks on the plane.

These low life's are just trying to gain attention. They will return and after feeling like they are now heroes instead of the low life's that they are will settle down and Texas WILL get the laws passed. Nothing they are doing will change the outcome.

You may be 100% correct.... But he's not going to arrest them.

We should have more traitorous treasonous politicos arrested Nationwide

Five years ago, I'd have agreed, but times are changing fast.

If Abbott wants the white house, parading democrats in handcuffs down Congress avenue could go a long way to help him get it.         

I thought Texas was going to secede.

Why would they do that?

I agree with "walkstall", I have GOT to see this. Frankly, I'll be surprised if it happens.

I guess we will see something more in the line of "house arrest" or being watched 24-7. But would not be surprised to see the cuffs if they would try to run again. this is a waste of tax money, if they stay away for the whole special session, another one will be called. They have made this a showdown now, and the republicans will get to pass anything they want, there will be no compromising with the democrats over this.
