Newsom says California to draw congressional maps to 'END TRUMP PRESIDENCY'

(ABC News) California Gov. Gavin Newsom said California will move forward with drawing new congressional maps that he said "WILL END THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY" and allow Democrats to take control of the U.S. House of Representatives.

"DONALD 'TACO' TRUMP, AS MANY CALL HIM, 'MISSED' THE DEADLINE!!! CALIFORNIA WILL NOW DRAW NEW, MORE 'BEAUTIFUL MAPS,' THEY WILL BE HISTORIC AS THEY WILL END THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY (DEMS TAKE BACK THE HOUSE!)," Newsom wrote Tuesday night, in a post written in the style of President Donald Trump's occasionally all-caps social media posts.

The announcement comes amid Texas Republicans' efforts to redraw congressional maps in their party's favor. The redistricting showdown in Texas has led blue states to threaten to retaliate -- with Newsom proposing to cut five GOP-held seats in California.

Here's a screen capture of two posts.





I literally LOLd when I read the YOUR FAVORITE GOVERNOR part! We need to mock this orange piece of shit mercilessly! Other dems need to pile on. This is not the time to worry about appearances or protocol, or to be polite or moderate.
