“Symone Sanders, senior advisor and chief spokesperson for Harris, said Saturday that the vice president and her staff at the meeting were not at risk of exposure to the virus. (CNBC) “Based on the timeline of the positive Covid-19 tests, it was determined that Harris and her staff “were not at risk of exposure because they were not in close contact with those who tested positive and therefore do not need to be tested or quarantined,” Sanders said. “The Vice President and her staff are fully vaccinated.”And so, as it turns out, were the five Democrats on the plane to Washington. ‘2 More Texas House Democrats Test Positive for COVID-19 After Fleeing to DC’-(The Epoch Times, July 19, 2021)
“Another two members of a Texas Democratic Party delegation of lawmakers who flew to Washington in response to a Republican overhaul of election laws have tested positive for COVID-19, officials said on July 18.” “The caucus said that “all of the HDC Members who tested positive are feeling good, with no symptoms or only mild symptoms.” The statement didn’t name which members had tested positive for COVID-19.”
“However, Texas state Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer confirmed on the evening of July 18 that he had tested positive earlier that day.(The Epoch Times) “I will be teleworking with my colleagues, staff, partners, and allies. We’re planning more good trouble, and hope to make announcements soon,” Fischer said in a statement. “Democracy is in jeopardy, and we will not be stopped in our fight to protect it.” “While in Washington last week, the delegation members met with Vice President Kamala Harris and other Congress members, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.). “The move prompted Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to announce on July 12 that he will continue special sessions, citing a poll that showed more than half of Texans oppose walkouts. “Texans Oppose Walkouts to Avoid Votes. No one else gets paid to walk off their job. Quitters never win,” the Republican governor wrote on Twitter on July 12. “We will continue successive Special Sessions until elected representatives do what they were elected to do—debate issues & cast votes.”Meanwhile it’s anyone’s guess what Texas state Rep. Fischer meant when he said “We’re planning more good trouble” “and hope to make announcements soon”. The ongoing tennis game between the Dems and media will live on so long as the definition of Street Theatre perfectly describes the Democrat Party.
