Published | Video Starts at 01:23

We were told these maps had to be redrawn, that it was a constitutional problem until yesterday. Yesterday we heard that these crazy looking maps with crack packed and jacked districts were drawn for political performance to keep some votes from mattering. The felon in chief said, get me five seats. And so here we are. That shameless admission was made to cover up that they are drawn along racial lines. (01:23–01:33)
