Phelan is a coward.

He doesn't deserve to be in leadership.

Seems to me the RPT and actual conservatives can look forward to being gang-raped for the next 140 days, then told afterwards we should be grateful we were allowed to enjoy the most conservative sexxion in history.

and our rep in HD5 is on record saying he supports these behaviors, in addition to actively campaigning to keep Dem chairs during the convention period and supported (and voted for) keeping Dade Phelan as Speaker 🤦🏼‍♀️

Texas House is full of them. Slaton and Tinderholt are the only two I know aren't RINOs (still gotta research that other guy that voted for Tinderholt before I'll give him any credit)

Phelan was so angry that Slaton even brought it up. It was one of the TXGOP top priorities this session and he just brazenly dismissed the entire party.

Guess when you see primary results like we did in 2022 you don’t have to worry about voters paying attention to anything you do.

I haven’t tried to unravel this so I’m trying to cheat and gonna ask you first. Is there any way to censure these RINOs this go-round?

I’d like it to be explained to me why Schaefer is voting for Phelan one day, but arguing against Dem chairs the next 🤔 seems to me if he’s sincerely against Dem chairs then he should’ve voted for Tinderholt 🤔

Phelan may be a coward, but, actually, the real cowards are all the "conservative" Republicans who know how Phelan runs things, but they still voted for him, with the exception of the three who did not. It was made clear to me when I was at the Capitol Bldg. on Tuesday in Rep. Schaefer's office, that if one does not go along with Phelan, one will not only not chair a committee, but will not be put on one. One is supposed to learn how "things are done in Austin" in order to be able to govern or he/she can lose his/her ability to do what he/she was elected to go to Austin to do. As far as I was able to determine, there were only 3 "Chip Roys" among our Representatives!!!!! Sad, sad, sad!!!!!
