saying they've come 'to snap selfies and bask in the limelight'

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell had harsh words for Texas Democrats who fled the state Monday for Washington, DC, in a dramatic walkout to block passage of a series of Republican-led bills.

The Kentucky Republican accused the state Democratic lawmakers of coming to the nation's capital to have a moment in the sun.

The legislators "decided to grab some beer, hop on a private plane and flee the state in what they are pretending is some great moral crusade," McConnell told reporters on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, according to CNN's Manu Raju. "In reality, they've just come here to Washington to snap selfies and bask in the limelight."
