Texas Republicans are redrawing congressional districts, prompting contentious exchanges during a panel discussion. Scott Jennings criticized Democrats for fleeing Texas to avoid quorum, suggesting they should represent Texans instead. Jennings defended the Republican stance on redistricting, while panelist Xochitl Hinojosa emphasized that Democrats had to flee due to lack of control in the Texas legislature. Critics argue these changes negatively impact Latino and African American voters. The panel's exchanges illustrated the heightened tensions regarding redistricting in a politically polarized environment.
The reality is they got elected to go to work in the Texas State Capitol, they've left the state, they're abandoning their constituents, and if they want to go vote against the map, that's fine.
Running off to Illinois, the most gerrymandered state in the country, looks horrific for them.
They had to flee. They don’t have control of the House, or the Senate, or the governor’s mansion, or anything in Texas.
Republicans are trying to take away districts, and on the backs of Latino and African American voters in the state.
