JB Pritzker said lawmakers are ‘doing the right thing’ after a group left Texas to prevent House vote on redistricting
The Illinois governor, JB Pritzker, has vowed to protect the Democratic members of the Texas house of representatives who left the state in an attempt to block Republican efforts to redraw Texas’s congressional maps.
“We’re going to do everything we can to protect every single one of them and make sure that – ’cause we know they’re doing the right thing, we know that they’re following the law,” Pritzker said at a press conference on Sunday in Illinois alongside some of the the Texas Democratic lawmakers.
The Texas Democrats fled the state on Sunday in an effort to prevent the Texas house from reaching the quorum on Monday needed to vote on a newly proposed congressional map.
Fuck yeah, so proud of pritzker. When America truly becomes great again… When the gallows are built and the nooses hung. When we start lining up the few thousand billionaire shit bags that thought they were different, and better than everyone else. Pritzker won’t be among them. Neither will Taylor Swift, or the Ben and Jerry’s owners
Ben & Jerry’s, the brand, is owned by multinational conglomerate Unilever. Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield sold it in 2000. Ben remained active on the board after the sale, and both are known to take political positions that Unilever management would prefer they not.
