CNN thought they had Texas Governor Greg Abbott cornered during a recent interview about redistricting. Jake Tapper tried to shame Abbott for fighting back against Democratic gerrymandering. What happened next was beautiful to watch.
Democrats in the Texas House ran away to other states like cowards. They fled to avoid doing their jobs and block a special session on redistricting. These politicians abandoned the people who elected them because they knew they were going to lose fair and square.
Tapper thought he could trap Abbott by bringing up California Governor Gavin Newsom’s threats. Newsom said he would redraw California’s maps to hurt Republicans if Texas went forward. The CNN host clearly expected Abbott to back down from this liberal bullying.
Instead, Abbott dropped a truth bomb that left Tapper speechless. The Texas governor calmly explained that blue states like California, New York, and Illinois already gerrymandered their maps years ago. They have nothing left to take from Republicans because they already stole everything they could.
Then came the knockout punch that had liberals everywhere crying. Abbott told Tapper that if California tries to eliminate five Republican seats, Texas can wipe out ten Democrat seats in response. The math is simple and Democrats hate it.
This is what real leadership looks like when facing down the liberal media machine. Abbott did not apologize or make excuses for fighting for his state. He stood strong and showed why Texas keeps winning while blue states keep failing.
The best part was watching Tapper realize his gotcha question just backfired completely. Democrats always think they can intimidate Republicans with their threats and media allies. Abbott proved that those days are over for patriots who refuse to be bullied.
Texas has more power in this fight because conservatives actually win elections in red states. While Democrats have to cheat and gerrymander to survive, Republicans can play the same game even better. This is what happens when the left picks a fight with real Americans who fight back.
