Texas Republicans were fuming as Democrats fled the state for Washington on Monday and some took to Twitter to share pictures showing Democrats on a private jet without masks and a D.C.-bound bus with a pack of Miller Lite.
“Smiling House Dems fly off to DC on a private jet with a case of Miller Lite, breaking House quorum, abandoning their constituents, while the Senate still works,” Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick tweeted with a picture of Democrats on a bus, a box of beer nestled in a seat. “It’s my hope that Senate Dems report tomorrow to do what they were elected to do. We will vote on #SB1.”
