VIDEO: Texas Gov Abbott Announces 100 State Dems Protesting in DC Will Be Arrested Upon Their Return to Texas

Texas Democrats decided to take a little vacation to DC boarding private jets and staying at a $200 a night DC hotel. Not so fast! Texas Governor Greg Abbott just threatened (video below) to arrest the 100 Democrats when they get home to Texas. The problem is they are willing to stay in DC for 30 days:

During an interview with CNN, Texas State Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer said the group of 100 are willing to stay in D.C. for the full 30-day legislative session and risk arrest to break the quorum: “This is the risk that we take to stand up for democracy.”

"We are elected by the constituents to be their voice … We have to have the courage, we have to have conviction, and sometimes a little bit of defiance," Texas House Democrat Trey Martinez Fischer says on leaving the state to block Republicans from passing voting restrictions. pic.twitter.com/AJykfcjbdS
