One of the Texas Democrats who left the state to stop Republicans from passing new election laws clashed with Fox News’ Pete Hegseth about their decision and the 2020 election.

Hegseth confronted Texas state representative James Talarico and said it seems like Democrats in D.C. are “using you as a prop or a puppet.”

“I swore an oath when I first got elected two years ago to uphold the Constitution,” Talarico responded. “The Constitution of the United States and also the Constitution of the great state of Texas. And after our former president Donald Trump started his big lie that the election was stolen, Republican legislators…”

Hegseth jumped in to ask, “How did you make this about Donald Trump in 20 seconds?”

1. Well Done To Mr. Talarico, Sir

Republicans aren't responding to fraud or irregularities.

Republicans are responding to voter turn-out.

2. Exactly. They know that with high turnout, Republicans lose and more Democrats win.

"Stopping the count" actually worked in 2000...
