Gavin Newsom Mocked Into Next Week for This Hilarious, Desperate Response to Redistricting Question

It's been rather funny to watch Democrats flip out about the Texas plans to redistrict, with Democrats fleeing the state to break the quorum. Now that's coming back to bite them, as they just may suffer the consequences of abandoning their jobs.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has started an attempt to remove the Democrats for refusing to show up for their jobs.

Fleeing the state to avoid doing the job voters elected you to do? That’s not leadership.

The Texas Supreme Court has now called on the Democratic leader of this action, Gene Wu, to respond to Abbott's action.

Meanwhile, the Democrats are leaving other things hanging in the wind. What about the flooding response and other critical issues?

So you have some Democrats crying that they may gerrymander elsewhere to help the Democratic cause. It's funny for them to act like they haven't been employing gerrymandering for years. There have been some silly responses, but the one from California Gov. Gavin Newsom has to be right up there on the bad, desperation meter.

In an X post, he listed "Red states with ZERO Dem house seats" and "Red states with just ONE Dem house seat."

Oh cool I can do that too.

Red states with ZERO Dem house seats:

Oklahoma
Arkansas
Iowa
Utah
Nebraska
Idaho
Montana
West Virginia
Alaska
North Dakota
South Dakota
Wyoming

Red states with just ONE Dem house seat:

Mississippi
South Carolina
Tennessee
Kentucky… https://t.co/OHjtq3w3bQ

Should I keep going?

But there was a small problem there, as people were quick to tell Newsom, while they laughed at him. He's trying to make a point about gerrymandering - while listing multiple states that only have one district, including North Dakota, South Dakota, Alaska, and Wyoming.

White House Deputy Press Secretary Abigail Jackson couldn't quite believe it.

Are… are you seriously saying Wyoming is gerrymandered? Because it literally has 1 congressional seat. https://t.co/WolHF8m80S

CNN commentator and Salem radio host Scott Jennings had some fun with him.

Lol Gavin has the Dakotas & Wyoming on here - with one seat each - as being gerrymandered. Trump is truly blessed by the dumbest opposition. 😂 https://t.co/SIzp65WJCb

Please, please stop the gerrymandering in those places - for the children!

won’t someone please stop the gerrymandering in North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, and Alaska https://t.co/Qtw1fqiAP8

And Newsom wants to run for president? Add that to the history of failure that he's left in California, and it's not a good look. Newsom has said he will try to retaliate with moves in California, if Texas goes through with its plans.
