Oklahoma GOP Gov. Kevin Stitt told Newsmax on Monday that Texas Democrats are “trying to take their ball and go home” when it comes to redistricting legislation and warned that “Americans are so frustrated” with this behavior.

A group of 13 Texas House Democrats last week left the state before a vote could take place on a Republican-led plan to redraw congressional districts, which the Democrats claimed was an attempt at gerrymandering, prompting Gov. Greg Abbott to order their arrest and request that the state Supreme Court expel them from the Texas Legislature.

Stitt said on “Wake Up America” that the decision to flee the state ahead of a vote on redistricting was “just disappointing,” adding that Democrats are “trying to take their ball and go home. They’re hiding out in other states. They better not come to Oklahoma or … I’ll help Gov. Abbott bring them back to Austin, to their Capitol.”
