Fox Information has been group autocrat since Donald Trump returned to the White Home. Gone are the times when Fox used to accuse Democratic presidents like Invoice Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden of being anti-freedom authoritarians.
Now that Trump is again, Fox Information is all about violating rights and arresting individuals willy-nilly as a result of that’s what an important viewer of their channel is all about.
It appeared to return as a shock to Will Cain when he requested Texas AG Ken Paxton, “It is costly to delay, to run away. Final time it was 38 days, I consider it is a $500 per day penalty for doing this. That is some huge cash they’re racking up in fines to not point out the jets they took. The non-public jets they took, the governor has talked about some factor about bribery. What you make of who’s funding this whole leisure time for Democrats?”
Paxton answered, “There are a few methods to seek out out. In the end, they’ll need to report a particular session report that shall be due shortly after the particular session. We’ll know within the subsequent month, a month and a half, who funded it, and finally it is as much as native district attorneys. Most of those are Democratic district attorneys for these Democrats to prosecute. I believe that’s an unlikely small chance. If I had the authority, the legislature gave me the authority, which we do not have in Texas, we are able to deal with this. It is as much as a bunch of Democratic DAs.”
Greg Abbott and Texas Republicans can’t cost the Democrats who left the state with crimes or power them to return again for the particular session to move the gerrymandered map.
There may be nothing that the Republicans, who’re making an attempt to do Trump’s bidding, can do outdoors of fining the Democrats who refuse to attend the particular legislative session. The gerrymandered Trump map must be handed earlier than the tip of the yr, or it will likely be too late to implement it for the 2026 election.
Day by day that the Texas Home Democrats deny the quorum is a victory for democracy.
Fox Information solely cares about freedom when a Democratic president is in workplace, they usually can’t disguise their disappointment that Group Trump and his anti-democratic impulses are taking a loss.
