State Rep. Joe Moody has been stripped of his position as speaker pro tem in the Texas House following his decision to flee the state in order to stymie the ongoing special session that Gov. Greg Abbott called.
Moody is one of Speaker Phelan's closest Democrat allies.
Calls to strip Democrats who fled Texas from their House leadership posts have been growing throughout the week.
Texas Republican Party Chairman Matt Rinaldi clarified that yes, leaders appointed to their posts by Speaker Dade Phelan can be stripped of their leadership assignments.
Texas Democrats have attempted to leverage favorable media to make their case as to why they should deny the duly-elected House a quorum to vote on the bills Gov. Abbott has placed on the special session agenda per his legal powers under the Texas constitution.
One question that should arise from Talarico's admission is, do all of the fleeing Texas Democrats agree and oppose voter ID? In Washington DC, to which Talarico, Moody, and the other Democrats fled, Democrat Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina recently said that no Democrat has ever opposed voter ID. That's clearly not true.
If the national Democrats are now supportive of voter ID, but Texas Democrats such as Talarico are not, then Texas Democrats are to the left of their own national party while attempting to win over voters in a very red state.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
