“If you knew you could win this next election, you wouldn’t be taking this effort to try to steal five seats from elected officials that members of color elected to represent them in Washington D.C.”

We all have to stand up now. We live under an authoritarian government. It’s really happened here in the US. Now we must all oppose it. No one wins this authoritarian game. No one.
SHE NEEDS TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT. OR AT LEAST VP.
PREACH, GURL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love her passion! Thank you for trying to fight for ALL Americans♥️🤍💙
All cause they couldn't say no to Trump. Funny how racism and cowardice are linked.
Well done!
They don't care about right and wrong. They only care about power.
Thank you Ann Johnson, you speak for all of us!
Thank you Ann, keep up the good work.
He’s afraid of jasmines truth and he wants to silence her, I wish she would take his job
God Bless This Lady! Not because she is saying what I believe, because she spoke THE TRUTH!
This shows the Republic that is the US of A is slowly turning into the real life Galactic Empire day by day, as we speak.
Blistering, searing, scorched TRUTH. Listen to that pin drop!
Thank you, Ann Johnson 💙💙💙
A semi-aside: In English, 'Woke' refers to being awake. When you're not awake, you're asleep.
R now stands for… Rumplestiltskin?
Yes ma'am!!
Who shook their head?
Wow. Well, hallelujah. Someone with some courage and passion. God bless you for calling these power hungry racists out, right to their faces. If they thought their policies were popular, if they governed based on what the majority of people wanted, they wouldn’t need to gerrymander. They’d win based on merits. The reality is the minority is doing everything in their power to rule over the majority, and they’re not even attempting to hide it anymore. They’ve pushed all their chips into the middle of the table so we better all stand up now or our children will be fighting this fight for decades to undo the damage.
RACISM!
I've heard her dig in on several topics and she's quite eloquent and strong worded. I sort of like hearing her talk and it's usually in someone else's defense. Do it lady!!
She said it. It was the truth.
Another voice of reason!! We may evolve here in the USA ❤🇺🇸
Believe her because she is telling you the truth.
Thank you Rep. Ann Johnson . Thank you for fighting for what right . Abbott needs to resign. As a Texan it should be up to the people not Greg Abbott to decide who wins this election.
Thank you
