The state Democrats who fled Texas to Washington, D.C. in order to avoid voting on an election integrity bill have been unable to make their stunt any less laughable.
From accidentally showing off their rack of Miller Lite on their bus to their charter flights to talking about their "sacrifice" of not doing their jobs, the group of Democratic state congressional members took their hilarity to a new cringe-worthy level during their press conference outside the Capitol building.
After one member finished speaking with the press, the group began to sing, let's just say, an interesting version of "We Shall Overcome."

Their lackluster performance was predictably mocked on Twitter.

Question: what song will they be singing in prison? https://t.co/P3tTwXZinH

They sang a botched version of "We Shall Overcome," singing "we will overcome" instead. https://t.co/Omadzv15Uz

The group should stick to their day jobs, especially since this whole ordeal is the result of them avoiding their day jobs.
Not to be outdone with their self-aggrandizing, Texas Rep. Gene Wu posted a picture of his "fist meal as a fugitive."
