Now on Twitter, you could hear the, the, the lefty saying, ah, but Texas did it. This is all about Texas. Okay, let's look at the math. Texas, 56% of Texans voted for Donald Trump. In the new map that Texas drew, that 56 will get 79% of the seats. So look, it is drawn to favor the party in power, but it is not remotely as brazen. By the way, California, their new map also is designed to give the Democrats more than 90% of the congressional delegation. (29:39–29:54)
