Jasmine Crockett Rants About Texas’ ‘Racist Maps’ While Applauding California Dem Gerrymandering

Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett blasted Texas Republicans’ newly redrawn district map as “racist” Monday night on Instagram — while in the same video she praised California Democrats’ gerrymander.

Crockett’s comments come as runaway Texas Democrats return to Austin to vote on the Lone Star State’s proposed map, which will likely result in the GOP picking up five seats there in the midterms. California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom also recently announced a special November election for California voters to approve the Democratic-dominated state legislature’s gerrymandered map, which was drafted in an effort to “neutralize” Texas’ mid-decade redistricting.

“All of the racists feel a way when you call them exactly what they are. When you say, ‘Oh you guys are racist, and you guys are trying to implement racist practices with these racist maps,’” Crockett said on Instagram. “It’s like, bro, I get that you took your hood off, but your hood is still there, like we see it.”
