Texas Democrats Spreading COVID-19

Thanks to Evi L. Bloggerlady for the artwork. If you look at those people, it’s obvious they’re not just mentally ill, but in bad health overall:
A sixth Texas Democrat who traveled to Washington, DC, in an effort to prevent a vote on a GOP-backed voting bill has tested positive for the coronavirus, a new report said.
The unidentified state lawmaker — who was among a group of Democrats who flew to the nation’s capital on a private jet last week — is self-isolating, a spokeswoman for the Texas House Democrats told NBC News.
Over the weekend, five other state Democratic lawmakers tested positive for COVID-19.
The group made the trip to DC to press Congress to pass federal election reform legislation, which would supersede the Texas bill that prevents local officials from sending unsolicited absentee ballot applications.
The bill would also require, among other things, applicants to provide their driver’s license number or the last four digits of their Social Security number.
The Texas state Senate approved the sweeping bill Tuesday night. The legislation is now stalled in the House due to the lack of a quorum.
The delegation is expected to stay in DC for a month.
They ought to stay in D.C. forever. Texas doesn’t need Democrats. Texas needs disinfectant to rid the state of infections Democrats spread:
Republicans are slamming Texas Democrats for a “super spreader” trip to DC after a White House staffer and an aide to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tested positive for COVID-19 following meetings with the legislators — who fled their state to stall voting legislation. . . .
Although CDC rules require ordinary airplane passengers to wear masks to prevent the spread of the virus, the fact that the flight was privately chartered allowed the Democrats to flout that health guidance as they posed for selfies to promote their trip.
The apparent transmission chain brings COVID-19 closer to President Biden, 78, and Pelosi, 81, whose old age make them more at risk for serious illness. Both Biden and Pelosi (D-Calif.) are vaccinated, lowering their risk of contracting the virus or having to be hospitalized if they do.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said at a press briefing Tuesday that the White House aide has “mild symptoms.”
Psaki admitted “there have been” additional “breakthrough” infections among vaccinated staffers, but she would not say how many or when they were detected.
OK, so if you’ve been hanging around Texas Democrats, you’ve been exposed to the virus, which can only be cured by drinking bleach.
Wait, what? Did I actually write that? Freudian slip. Don’t quote me on Facebook, or you might be banned for spreading “misinformation.”
But Texas Democrats should go ahead and drink bleach.
