Used to be just three, now it is five lawmakers testing positive. From FOX News:
Two more Texas Democrats test positive for COVID after fleeing election vote
Two more Texas Democrats have tested positive for coronavirus during the trip to Washington, D.C., just one day after three of their colleagues learned they had contracted the virus as well.
According to the Texas Tribune, the number of COVID-positive Texas state lawmakers in the nation's capital is now five. The news comes on the same day that Vice President Kamala Harris visited Walter Reed Medical Center for a "routine" visit after meeting with the group of lawmakers just last week.
And of course, if these were Republicans, this would be all over the news - major superspreader event. OMG what were they thinking? The reporters would be clutching their pearls and shrieking. But, of course, Republicans would not do such a childish thing as chartering an airplane to avoid their responsibility.
But then again, gee - could this be a political stunt so they do not have to return to Texas and face the results of their actions? Talk about acting like a five-year-old kid.
