I initially gave the Democrats some benefit of the doubt regarding the Tennessee redistricting conflict, which escalated into chaos at the state capitol when a new map was implemented following the Louisiana v. Callais decision.
This decision restricted the Voting Rights Act’s protections to bar states from drawing up race-based congressional districts because, in our country under our Constitution, nothing can be based solely on race.
Naturally, the theatrics reminiscent of Jim Crow spilled over in many ways. Now we have Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) sounding off, claiming that the new electoral map will eliminate all black representation in Congress.
“States like Tennessee want to wipe out every black representative,” she claimed during an event with the University of Chicago Institute of Politics.
AOC on the new Tennessee Congressional map which would eliminate the last Democrat seat:

The current Democrat Rep is a White guy and his Republican opponent is a Black woman.

It comes in mens and womens and lets your friends know you're happy to express your views and don't care what anyone thinks! Cheers!
Does her staff not actually work in Congress? Tennessee only has one Democrat representative, and it’s whiter-than-white goofball Steve Cohen.
Worse, Steve Cohen…said Democrat…has ONLY done one thing in his entire time in office (and he hasn't had an honest job since 1983.)
And that one thing…take a weird picture eating KFC. pic.twitter.com/L54EnF1MuP

For the record, there are no Republican House members from New England, and there are tens of millions of Republican voters spread across those states.
And okay, there probably won’t be as many Democrats throughout the South once all the previously race-gerrymandered districts are gone. But there are likely to be more black Republicans.
So, by all means, AOC, take a pill and just let it go. It’s probably going to be a lot healthier for you in the long run.
