Earlier this week, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced a DOJ lawsuit against Texas over redistricting plans:

Naturally Garland and the Biden Justice Department are completely ignoring redistricting in blue states, and former President Barack Obama has gotten in on that action:

Obama and the Democrats obviously think gerrymandering is only a problem when Republicans do it.
But did he weigh in on the Dems' gerrymandering in his home state? https://t.co/f3fDoEhlxq

Dems like Obama won’t allow themselves to have enough self-awareness to recognize the reality.
Of course not, why would Mr Divider do that?

The 44th president has politically benefitted from gerrymandering, but only Republicans do it (or something):

Hey @BarackObama! Have you noticed the gerrymandering happening in YOUR home state, or Oregon, or Maryland, or New York, or California, or almost every single majority Democrat led State? Maybe you should shut your yap! https://t.co/PlXn3mdCoY

Obama’s former AG Eric Holder called Republican gerrymandering a “danger to our democracy.” Democrats are now trying to save “democracy” through… gerrymandering. Go figure!
