Who does Greg Abbott think he’s fooling?
Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott said on Monday that democratic efforts for restart the districts of the California congress is “shameful” and said that if the cards pass, they will be canceled by the courts.
“What the Democrats have done is shameful and potentially illegal,” said Abbott said In an appearance on Fox News. “If California is trying to withdraw more Republicans, there will be prosecution that will reverse this.”
It is difficult to understand that Abbott would have the cheek of criticizing California. After all, California Democrats only work to redesign their cards in response to Abbott redistribution efforts.
Abbott treated President Donald Trump request to Gerrymander the lines of the congress before the middle of 2026 in order to make more difficult for Democrats to gain control of the house. Abbott called a special session to obtain the legislature controlled by the GOP to eliminate Up to five seats held by Democrat state.
Democratic state legislators in Texas left the state To refuse the Republicans a quorum, preventing them from passing the new cards.
But once California has announced that it was going to try to cancel the Rediscovement of Texas with their own Congressal Redaw, Democratic legislators in Texas turned to the state. But in another autocratic decision, these same democratic legislators now have police escorts 24 hours a day to prevent them from leaving the state.
Meanwhile, California specifically adds a clause to their redistribution referendum of the ballot which says that their independent redistribution commission would always be held whether Texas and other republican controlled states are to remember from their attempts to repaint the cards.
The California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom has saidHowever, that the redistribution effort is necessary for a safe democracy.
“If California, one of the most uncomplicated states in America, does not succeed, it is at our own risk. We may not recover it. I tell you, we cannot”, Newsom said In an interview with Meidas Touch. “He was on this upcoming mid-term election before a vote was expressed. He tried to destroy our democracy after the last time the last time. Now, he does it, and we have to focus on the heels, we are driving the story. We drive the reforms. We drive discussion. Small, in the whole country.”
Newsom also responded to Abbott gas lighting, writing In an article on X, “Correction of you.
And the Democrats said that Abbott would only have to blame if the Republicans of California lost their seats.
“No Gov Abbott! You, NRCC, Dan Patrick, the president of the TX room and others will have responsible for costing the members of Ca House their seats! All B / C, you did not have the courage to say to Trump,` `no ”!” Rep. Marc Veasey (R-TX) wrote In a post on X.
