Texas lawmakers’ tweets mocking California power outages resurface amid winter storm

by

GOP lawmakers hampered Democrats when massive heat waves in California in 2019 caused widespread power outages that affected 30 of the state’s 58 counties.

Over the weekend, an unusual winter storm left millions without power in Texas, prompting the state’s power network operator to declare its highest state of emergency and exposing Republican lawmakers’ old tweets.
