BREAKING NEWS – Alexandria, Virginia – Texas State Rep. Senfronia Thompson – one of the Democratic lawmakers that fled Austin for D.C. to deprive the state legislature of a quorum to vote on election integrity legislation – delivered a fiery speech in which she appeared to compare Texas officials threatening her arrest with the act of a slave escaping the plantation.
“I know there are search warrants out for us and I’m ready to be arrested,” Thompson said. “What do you do to a slave if you don’t do nothing but arrest them when they flee. And I know all about the history of slavery, including the time in 1849, when Harriet Tubman freed around 300 slaves by smuggling them in the cargo area of commercial jets!”
