Trump and Abbott’s Redistricting Push

Are you calling in for a complete redrawing of the congressional map? No, just a very simple redrawing. We pick up five seats. Texas has always been found to be intentionally discriminatory. And so I want y’all to understand the makeup of my state. The state is a majority minority state. And what this legislature historically has done is what they plan to do again is to dilute the voices of people of color in order to make sure that they can get to where they’re trying to go. We saw this Department of Justice decided to put out a letter and what did they do? We only have four seats that are represented by black folk where the vast majority of the people that get to decide who they have represent them are black. They decided to attack three of the four seats that we have in the state. They decided to go after a Latina. They are specifically deciding to splinter the communities of common interest as well as just blatantly say we are going to dilute minority voices.

Donald Trump and Gov. Greg Abbott want to redraw the Texas congressional map to grab five more GOP seats in the midterms — all because they’re scared.

  6. He literally just said the quiet part out loud. He wants a partisan redrawing of the map so that they can get five seats. Not because it represents the people in that district, but because politically it gets them five seats. Pretty sure that violates voting rights laws.

  7. Ohio is trash as well they have been gerrymandering so much that Ohio is a red state I do not buy it stop cheating Republikkkans

  8. Isn't that gerrymandering and legal? Oh wait! I forgot Donald Trump can break every law spit on our constitution. Take a front seat to everyone else in our country and lie, cheat and steal and get kickbacks from other countries and do business while he's in office. Yes I forgot Donald Trump can do whatever he wants and we all get to suffer

  11. I’m Canadian.. so have no vested interest in your politics. But from here it looks like Trump and MAGA and the Republican Party want to destroy democracy in the U.S. and replace it with a Trump fascist dictatorship. Am I wrong? Will Americans really let this happen?

  12. Once a lying, cheating criminal, ALWAYS a lying, cheating criminal. He's gotten away with it so much, he doesn't even try to hide it. How his supporters call themselves Americans is beyond me. They're just as filthy as he is.

  14. So so SO SICK of the gop cheating! Thats how they win. Cheating and moving goalposts. Its really bad here in NC too🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

  17. "Sorry we aren't getting the results we want so we are going to reorganize the state so you have no chance against us"
