Texas Democrats get boost from Obama for blocking GOP redistricting plan

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former President Barack Obama on Thursday joined a virtual meeting with Texas House Democrats who left the state to deny Republicans the ability to pass newly drawn GOP-favorable congressional maps, cheering on their efforts and stressing their work comes at a critical time in the fight against partisan gerrymandering.

ABC News is first to report on the meeting and its contents.

“We can't let a systematic assault on democracy just happen and stand by and so because of your actions, because of your courage, what you've seen is California responding, other states looking at what they can do to offset this mid-decade gerrymandering,” Obama told the Texas legislators as they gathered in Illinois.

He continued: “I want all of you to be returning feeling invigorated and know that you have helped to lead what is going to be a long struggle. It's not going to be resolved right away, and it's going to require, ultimately, the American people understanding the stakes and realizing that we cannot take our freedoms and our democracy for granted. You've helped set the tone for that, and I'm grateful for it."

1. Thank you President Obama for acknowledging our Texas Democrats

Our plight is very real and Abbott, Paxton, Patrick, and the rest of their usurping cartel.

They must be stopped and crushed by every Texas voters, especially those pesky non voters. We have to reach out to them and encourage them to go to the polls.
