Remember when the Texas Democrats claimed they were "roughing it" in Washington DC to protest an election reform bill in Austin?
Meet State Representatives Julie Johnson and Jessica Gonzalez, two far-left lawmakers from the Dallas area.
They aren't in DC, they're vacationing in Portugal.
Yesterday we received a tip yesterday from a source in Austin who informed us these two women were not where they claimed to be. Later in the day the accusation that these two women were on vacation with their families in Portugal was confirmed by a reporter at the Austin-Statesman.
These two women are part of a group of ultra liberal politicians who previously criticized Senator Ted Cruz back in February for taking a trip to Cancun with his family in the middle of a winter storm. Cruz didn't miss any votes while he was traveling with his family but these two Democrat lawmakers are currently receiving salaries from the taxpayers while they avoid doing their jobs.
Reminder: back in late July the Texas Democrat party pleaded with the public to send care packages to these women as they "sacrificed" for a cause.
Why would they need sewing kits and first aid? They don't have first aid and sewing kits in Portugal (or Washington DC)?
Texans: Can your family afford a vacation to Portugal? If not, are you asking anyone to send you care packages?
