Texas Walkout Democrats Forced To Evacuate Chicago Hotel Over Bomb Threat

Some of the walkout Texas Democrats who fled to Illinois were forced to evacuate a hotel in Chicago this morning due to a bomb threat.

CBS News reported:

Some of the Texas Democrats who left the state in protest of a redistricting bill were temporarily evacuated Wednesday from their Chicago-area hotel after a bomb threat, according to one of the representatives.

“Early this morning, a bomb threat forced us to evacuate our hotel. Thankfully, no one was harmed,” said state Rep. Ann Johnson in a statement.

The hotel is in St. Charles, Illinois, west of Chicago. The St. Charles Police Department said first responders “conducted a thorough search and no device was found.”

“In response to the threat, 400 people were immediately evacuated and the area was secured as bomb squad units conducted their investigation,” the department said in a statement. “Following clearance from authorities, all guests and staff have safely returned to the premises.”

Now, arrest them all!

Sunday, Texas Democrats fled the state on a private jet to Illinois to block GOP redistricting efforts.

Governor Greg Abbot ordered the Texas DPS to arrest and return every House Democrat who fled to Illinois.

“Texas House Democrats abandoned their duty and are holding flood relief and property tax cuts hostage,” Abbott said. “I ordered Texas DPS to arrest and return every derelict House Democrat to the Texas Capitol.”
