Texas Democrats Surrender—Explaining Dem Redistricting Hypocrisy Nationwide

Published | Video Starts at 16:59

Look, just about every big Democrat state has gerrymandered the hell out of their map and is frustrating the will of their voters in their state. So let me give you some specific examples. California, biggest Democrat state in the country. In 2024, 58% of Californians voted Democrat, 38% voted Republican... They have a total of 52 congressional seats. Of those 52, 43 of them are Democrat, nine are Republican. What does that mean? It means The Democrats win 58% of the vote in California, and they get, wait for it, 83% of the congressional delegation. That's what they vote Democrat there. (16:59–17:22)
