With the triggered Democrats fleeing to Illinois in order to avoid a vote in the Texas Legislature on redistricting, it was only right for Stephen Colbert to have Illinois Governor JB Pritzker on to talk some politics.
Unfortunately for Pritzker, Colbert came prepared with a map of Illinois' Congressional districts.
Watch this:
Oh no he didn't!!!
Colbert really dropped the receipts on Pritzker on television and all the Illinois governor could say is, "We handed it over to a kindergarten class and let them decide [how to draw the map]," and that what Texas Republicans are doing is wrong because it's mid-decade and not right after the census. Also, the Republicans are "taking voting rights away from black and brown people."
Bro, everybody Gerrymanders their maps!
Either we fix them all or we continue to play the political game where it's only bad when the other side does it.
And if you want any hint as to which choice these politicians are going to make, look no further than the States of California, New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, Ohio, and Florida, which are all signaling that they will jump on the bandwagon to redistrict in a similar fashion to Texas.
