Beto O'Rourke: “He's [the governor] also proposing to file second degree…”

“The governor has filed with the Texas Supreme Court to vacate their offices, to remove them from their ability to represent the people that they have been serving. He's [the governor] also proposing to file second degree felony charges against every one of them [54 state House Democrats]. He has sent Texas DPS state troopers to, quote, hunt them down.
