Here's how newly re-elected Speaker Joe Straus chided his critics in his victory speech today:
"I'll do my best to empower members so that they can do what is right for their constituents and the people of Texas. I know that in recent weeks, members of the House have withstood threats, harassment and attempts at intimidation because of the fair and respectful way in which you want this House to operate. Division, threats of retribution, attacks on people's religious beliefs, distortions of people's records, have no place in this House."
Most members leapt to their feet and applauded.
