I'm laughing because I had not seen that clip before. That's just insanity. I mean, that's someone who's just flat out lying to the audience, lying to Texans because as you clearly point out, When [Democrats] left the state of Texas, when they broke quorum, because of the lack of quorum, there was nothing that could be voted on. Going back, if we could have taken a vote, we would have passed redistricting, the reason why they left the state in the first place. But let's go back to something else. (00:25–00:32)
