Speaker of the House Dade Phelan, R-Beaumont, is shown Wednesday, Jan. 18, 2023, during session in Austin. The Republican Party of Texas has begun airing a radio ad that takes Phelan to task for allowing Democrats to continue chairing House committees.
Phelan’s office declined to comment on the ad. But at least two of his allies in the House have fired back on Twitter., R-Lubbock, tweeted a screenshot of a recent fundraising email from the Texas GOP and wrote, “Wow! ’s hypocrisy knows no boundaries! They are fundraising off the passage of the Heartbeat and Trigger Bills — to fund their attacks on the Speaker who helped make them law!”
“Rinaldi spending more attacking a conservative Republican speaker than he did to help elect Republicans,” Rep., R-Fort Worth, added in his own tweet. Rinaldi disputes that the state party did little to help Republicans in the midterms. Supporters of ending Democratic committee chairs always faced long odds in finding enough support inside the House to change the rules, but they hoped to show their ranks had grown when the rules package came up for a vote earlier this month. Instead, Phelan and his allies used points of order, or procedural challenges, to successfully prevent consideration of two amendments to restrict Democratic committee chairs.
