Texas Democrats are Getting Very Desperate for Attention and This Tweet Proves It

After abandoning their posts and fleeing the state in protest of a new voter integrity law, Texas Democrats are getting increasingly desperate for attention while they hide out in Washington D.C. 

You bet we’re recognizing & honoring our country’s heritage. As most Texans, tho, this is what we’re doing tonight—using whatever is accessible, uwashing our clothes in the sink. #txlege https://t.co/HC8uDSnWk5 pic.twitter.com/DoaatSCqmj

So stunning and brave. 

Earlier in the week, Representative Gene Wu tweeted a series of food photos in hopes of getting Fox News to notice him.

I hope you like it. pic.twitter.com/ssMW0gBS3A

The Associated Press has been happy to oblige their self martyrdom. 

Democratic lawmakers who fled Texas to block a restrictive voting bill are living a life of scrutiny, stress and secrecy. The state legislators find themselves balancing a punishing schedule and other obligations all under a national spotlight. https://t.co/1A65wSn2eX

Meanwhile, Texas Governor Greg Abbott is reminding delinquent Democrats they have work to do and that they are obligated to hardworking taxpayers. 

Texas Democrats are stalling property tax relief, funding for retired teachers, & bail reform.

They have no game plan & their constituents are beginning to notice.

It's time to #getbacktowork. pic.twitter.com/3MzG4sAzFu
