In another clip, MSNBC \u201cThe ReidOut\u201d host Joy Reid said the Democrats left the state to \u201cblock the passage of new voter suppression laws.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" readability=\"6.7354838709677\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The media love the TX Democrats publicity stunt.

They <em>expand<\/em> early voting hours and require people to show an I.D. to vote. These Democrats claim that voter I.D. laws are racist. In order to prove these laws are racist, Democrats employ racism \u2014 claiming black people can\u2019t get an I.D., an absurd claim that shows how little the party knows about the people they claim to care about the most. These same Democrats who think it\u2019s&nbsp;<em>so<\/em>&nbsp;racist to require someone to show an I.D. to vote had to show I.D. to board the chartered plane they took to flee the state. At least one of them had to show I.D. to get the beer that was seen in one of the selfies they shared. They probably had to show I.D. if they had to get past security at the White House.<\/p>\n<p>Back to the media, they took this view that the Texas law was \u201cvoter suppression\u201d and ran with it without question.<\/p>\n<p>The MRC clip also includes audio of another liberal host calling the Texas bill a \u201cvoting restrictions bill,\u201d even though, again, it <em>expands<\/em> early voting hours. Another host is heard calling it \u201cone of the most restrictive bills in the country.\u201d Another asks if the bill is even necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Then we have the interviews with the Democrats who fled (and can be arrested upon returning to Texas). CNN\u2019s Erin Burnett talked about the \u201csacrifice\u201d the lawmakers made to have a chartered flight \u2013 with beer \u2013 and a vacation in Washington, D.C. where Democrats and their media supporters welcomed them with open arms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat are Democrats prepared to do to protect our elections?\u201d asked Jim Acosta, who repeatedly questioned the veracity of the 2016 election when President Donald Trump won.<\/p>\n<p>The adoration for lawmakers who opposed the same things media outlets opposed should seem familiar to anyone watching the news in the past five years. These same networks and hosts fawned over now-convicted felon Michael Avenatti because they thought he could bring down Trump. As The Daily Wire previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/mainstream-media-featured-avenatti-254-times-in-one-year-with-half-of-appearances-coming-from-cnn-alone\">reported<\/a>, networks featured Avenatti as a guest 254 times in a single year, with CNN\u2019s Ana Navarro, who claims to be a Republican, comparing the disgraced lawyer to \u201cthe Holy Spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The hypocrisy from the media is astounding, considering how they treated Republicans who left Oregon to avoid voting on bills they didn\u2019t like. Back then, Republicans were \u201csubverting democracy.\u201d Now, Democrats doing the same thing are heroes while at the same time demanding an end to the \u201cracist\u201d filibuster.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
