Texas Dem state legislators are pawns for Nancy Pelosi, House Dems

July 15, 2021

Lizzie FletcherVicente GonzalezHenry Cuellar and Colin Allred have all issued statements of support for the Texas state legislators who are ditching work to protest Republicans who refuse to support H.R. 1, a bill that would funnel $7.2 million in public money to Democrats’ campaign coffers. 

Now, Fox News is reporting these Texas state legislators are still receiving their taxpayer-funded salaries and a $221 per diem while in DC. 

Do Lizzie Fletcher, Vicente Gonzalez, Henry Cuellar and Colin Allred support their colleagues in the Texas state legislature misusing taxpayer money? 

Or do these House Democrats not care since it’s their campaigns that get $7.2 million in public money if the Texas state legislators’ whining succeeds? 

NRCC COMMENT: “Texas taxpayers are literally paying for Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats’ efforts to funnel $7.2 million in public money to their campaign accounts. House Democrats are using Democrat Texas state legislators as pawns to try and pass their corrupt legislation.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Torunn Sinclair
