More Liberal Hypocrisy

Despite publicly voicing opposition to partisan gerrymandering, Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) recently funneled $300,000 into the coffers of a Democratic gerrymandering group, the Washington Free Beacon reported Monday.
According to Federal E******n Commission records, the money was moved from Pelosi's leadership political action committee, PAC to the Future, to the National Democratic Redistricting Committee in two separate t***sactions of $200,000 and $100,000 late last year.
The payments stand in direct contrast to past statements the House speaker has made. In 2019, in response to a Supreme Court ruling that upheld the practice, Pelosi claimed that partisan gerrymandering efforts "compromise the integrity of our democracy."
She added: "This ruling greenlights the unjust and deeply dangerous practice of gerrymandering, which robs Americans of their right to have an equal voice in their government," suggesting that with the ruling, "traditionally underserved communities, especially communities of color, risk losing the representation and resources they rightfully deserve."

It’s only ok if the right does it because they’re a minority.

It is wrong in Illinois and democrat run gerrymandering for about 30 years.

It's called "defense". Should dems just let repubs gerrymander them out of existence? Sorry, forgot who I was talking to.
