Texas Governor Greg Abbott just schooled CNN’s Jake Tapper in an interview that left the liberal host scrambling for answers. Abbott masterfully turned the tables when Tapper tried to attack Texas over redistricting plans. The governor showed exactly why real Americans love his no-nonsense approach to defending our state.
Tapper thought he had a gotcha moment when he pressed Abbott about redistricting efforts in Texas. But Abbott was ready with the facts that CNN doesn’t want you to hear. He reminded viewers that blue states like California, New York, and Illinois already gerrymandered their maps years ago to help Democrats.
The Texas legislature is simply trying to fix unfair maps after a federal court ruled the state no longer needs special coalition districts. These districts were drawn to benefit Democrats at the expense of fair representation. Now Texas can finally draw maps that actually represent the will of the people.
Meanwhile, coward Democrats in the Texas House ran away to other states rather than do their jobs. These elected officials abandoned their duties and fled to places like New York and Illinois. They broke their oath to serve Texans just to protect their political power.
California Governor Gavin Newsom threatened to redraw his state’s maps if Texas moves forward. But Abbott delivered a knockout punch that shut down this liberal tantrum. He pointed out that Texas could eliminate ten Democrat seats if California wants to play games.
The governor explained that blue states already maxed out their gerrymandering tricks long ago. They have nothing left to gerrymander because they already rigged their maps. Texas still has plenty of room to create fair districts that reflect conservative values.
Abbott’s calm confidence exposed how desperate the mainstream media has become. Tapper clearly expected to embarrass the governor but instead got a lesson in political reality. This is what happens when liberal reporters try to ambush a true conservative fighter.
Texas voters should be proud of their governor for standing up to CNN’s biased attacks. Abbott proved once again that he will not bow down to liberal pressure from the media or runaway Democrats. He fights for hardworking Texans who deserve honest representation in Congress.
