"Listen, Democrats have attempted and asked Republicans for ten years to ban partisan gerrymandering, and for ten years, Republicans have said no. Republicans have fought for partisan gerrymanders across the United States of America, and these are the rules that they have set."

Republicans expressed frustration over redistricting in Virginia, where a new map could favor Democrats in ten out of eleven House districts.

Ocasio-Cortez argued that the Republican Party is upset because Democrats are now standing up and fighting back against their tactics.
