Leo Terrell: Texas Democrat's slavery comments over DC trip are wrong and deeply insulting
Fox News
Texas State Rep. Sefronia Thompson and her fellow Democratic legislative cohorts have compared the Texas delegation that fled to Washington, D.C. last week to slaves who are fleeing persecution, only to get arrested by their masters and forced back home to the Texan plantation.
For the Texas Democratic legislators to compare illegally fleeing their state in order to avoid a vote to slavery is flat out wrong. In fact it’s an insult to every single slave who suffered under the characterization of being called property. Rep. Thompson went on to compare the Texas delegation that fled to Washington, D.C. last week to slaves who are fleeing persecution, only to get arrested by their masters and forced back home to the Texan plantation. "I know there are search warrants out for us and I'm ready to be arrested," she said. "What do you do to a slave if you don't do nothing but arrest them when they flee. We fled Texas and if they want to arrest me, go ahead. I’m ready to be arrested."More Related News
