While their evening counterparts were nowhere to be seen on Monday, ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today followed through early Tuesday in celebrating Texas Democrats returning to the Lone Star State, painting them as conquering heroes for (temporarily) halting the GOP-proposed congressional maps and trumpeting their latest demand for attention.
Chief Washington correspondent and three-time anti-Trump author Jon Karl had the story, starting with this:
Texas House Democrats returned to the state capitol on Monday after a two-week walk-out as they tried to stop a redistricting effort that heavily favored Republicans. But one of those state lawmakers is now stuck there, locked inside the Capitol building, and officials say she can’t go home unless she agrees to a mandatory law enforcement escort. This morning, Texas Democratic lawmaker Nicole Collier is waking locked inside the state Capitol. She has been there since Monday afternoon, because she refused to sign a permission slip for a law enforcement escort home.
