Texas lawmaker moves to gerrymander another GOP seat for each week Dems are away

Texas state Rep. Brian Harrison (R) called on the legislature to gerrymander another district for Republicans for each week that Democrats prevent the adoption of a new congressional map by remaining out of state.

"Every morning I'm updating the statistics, okay, on what is actually going on in terms of punishment for the Democrats," Harrison told MAGA influencer Steve Bannon on Thursday. "If the Democrats are going to play hardball, I'm sick of it only being the Democrats, especially in Texas, where established Republicans usually do the Democrats' bidding and then blame the Democrats. Okay, let's let time for that crap is over."

"Every week the Democrats are gone, the governor, Speaker, Lieutenant Governor, we should announce we're amending the map one more Republican seat," he continued. "So they've gone one week, quite frankly, by tomorrow, we should add one more seat, which would give us a six-seat advantage instead of five."

Harrison also said Gov. Greg Abbott (R) should announce he would veto any bill sponsored by a Democrat who prevented a quorum in the state House.

"Any future bill by any one of these rogue Democrats who is abdicating their constitutional responsibility," he said, "the governor could say, as long as I'm governor, any bill with your name on it, automatic veto."
