PORTED TO PORTUGAL

| Playing Hooky in Portugal |
Bad optics, to say the least. On the other hand, the contingent of democracy-saviors-in-exile that remains mission-minded in the nation's capital should not take the bad rap for the action of those two.
Hopefully, the porto-bound vacationers won't take the public per-diem while basking on the beach. That would make them look even worse.
REFERENCE:
Two House Democrats who broke quorum missing from Washington, D.C., reportedly vacationing in Portugal. Their vacation does not affect the lack of quorum that the House has in Austin that prevents the chamber from passing an elections bill. But it is at odds with Democrats’ insistence that they would use their time away to advocate for federal voting rights legislation in the nation’s capital. TEXAS TRIBUNE 2021-08-04 by PATRICK SVITEK and CASSANDRA POLLOCK.
