Texas State Representative Shawn Thierry, who lost in a runoff primary in May, torched the Democrat Party while announcing that she is leaving for the Republicans.
Thierry called out the Democratic Party's march into the "progressive abyss" after she supported a GOP-led bill protecting minors from gender transition procedures.
"The Democratic Party has veered so far left, so deep into the progressive abyss, that it now champions policies that I cannot, in good conscience, support — policies like promoting sex changes for children during a vulnerable stage of their lives, and dismantling Title IX protections for women in sports," Thierry wrote.
Thierry, from Houston, is the second high profile Democrat to switch parties. Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson switched parties last year.
She spoke at the ‘Moms for Liberty’ event on Friday. You can check that out below.
