That is a massive and it's a grotesque gerrymander. And by the way, I'm quite confident if they could have drawn it 11 0, they would have. You know, There are five districts that slice through Northern Virginia to get all the liberals that work in the federal government and they basically like take a slice of liberals from Northern Virginia and then stick it with rural Virginias to rob the votes of the rest of the state. That is redder. Yeah, this. And this is going to be their game plan moving forward state after state after state now, all because they say they're doing it in reaction to Texas. (32:47–33:04)

CLAIM

Asserts that Virginia's districts are drawn to combine liberal and rural areas to dilute rural votes.
