FROM FOX NEWS: Vice President J.D. Vance shut down “Meet the Press” host Kristen Welker Sunday after she questioned why Republicans would want to give themselves more legislative seats when President Donald Trump’s agenda is already so popular with the American people.
The Texas state Senate approved new congressional district maps on Saturday after Democrats from the Texas House of Representatives ended their “quorum break” on Aug. 18. Vance noted that some of the Democratic-controlled states the Texas Democrats fled to have been gerrymandered for decades.
Vance said: “First of all, Kristen, you have to ask yourself why have Democrats gerrymandered their states aggressively in the past 10 to 20 years. If you look, for example, at the popular vote in a lot of these states, in Massachusetts, where 32% of the residents of Massachusetts voted for Republicans, zero Republican federal representatives.”
“All we’re doing frankly is trying to make the situation a little bit more fair on a national scale,” Vance added. “The Democrats have gerrymandered their states really aggressively. We think there’s opportunities to push back against that, and that’s really all we’re doing.”
