Cortez is the second Democrat to return to Austin from the nation's capital, where nearly 60 other Democratic House members have been staying since July 12 to break quorum during the ongoing special legislative session.
D-Tx Celia Israel gets it - she sees how their fleeing Tx has been a PR disaster, they are NOT getting sympathy, they are NOT getting support, and the Republicans in Texas are scoring BIG time off of what they have done:
"The governor is scoring political points off of us like a piñata. He's raising money, he's trying to show his Republicans how tough he is."
The Tx Flee-bagger coalition is broken - Democrats are returning to Tx with their tails between their legs having accomplished nothing except:
Showing their hypocrisy by flying without masks, without social distancing
Being responsible for a DC Super-Spreader Event, endangering American lives by infecting members of the House & WH w/COVID-19
