Proof yet again that politics is show business for ugly people.

Tennessee State Rep. Justin Jones appeared on MSNOW Sunday and delivered exactly the kind of racialized political rhetoric the modern left has made routine.
The interview centered on Tennessee Republicans’ redistricting push, which would split Memphis into multiple congressional districts and likely weaken the state’s only Democrat congressional seat.
Democrats immediately framed the move as an attack on black voters, while Republicans argued the map was about politics, not race.
Redistricting is political by nature. Both parties use maps to gain power by controlling state legislatures.
Democrats have done the same in states across the country. Massachusetts, for example, has no Republican congressional seats despite being less blue than Tennessee is red. Yet when Republicans act in their own political interest, Democrats suddenly discover a new moral crisis.
Jones did not merely criticize the map. He turned a partisan redistricting fight into a sweeping accusation of racial terror.
During the interview, Jones claimed Republicans were carrying out “policy violence” and compared Tennessee’s GOP lawmakers to the “children of Jim Crow,” Bull Connor and George Wallace.
At one point, he said a Republican leader had “taken off the white hood” but still had the same intentions as those who came before him.
That kind of language is not normal political disagreement. It is a dangerous attempt to paint Republican lawmakers as Klansmen because they support a congressional map Democrats dislike.

Whoever is advising Pratt needs to be RNC Chairman.
“the final solution”
With all due respect my friend, in the future you might want to use a different phrase. 🫣
I agree.
A State Rep? ROTFL. They’re bigger fools than the Party of Death’s Dipstick Court Judgettes.
Such hyperbole. If we really wanted them gone, they’d be gone.
A black Republican woman is the most likely person to take the white leftist’s spot.
I don’t think they know what racism is.
When all else fails, leftists compare conservatives to Klansmen and Nazis. Of course, the proper retort to that is to point out how much their rhetoric (and policies) are borrowed from Communists.
Whereas these days black thugs in cities like Philadelphia terrorize white voters to stay away from the polls in order to keep Democrats in office.
The district he is whining about has had a white man in it (democrat) for 20 years now.
So he’s just a Step-n-Fetchit for the DNC.
I know, which makes this idiot even more of a dipshit.
Stupid as dirt but smart enough to not put his hands on that Trooper.
“If we really wanted them gone, they’d be gone.”
Yup....and the drop in crime would be mind-boggling
I am in this district, and I cannot wait for Steve Cohen to be out on the street. He is a vile race-baiter and that is how he has stayed in that seat.
Are you sure about that? Murder rates of black on white are skyrocketing.
Which is why Democrats are so involved in “river to the sea” crappola - channeling dead relatives.
The normally moronic Democrats resort to complete
idiocy when the fear of being out of power grips them.
Proof yet again that politics is show business for ugly people.
It is a dangerous attempt to paint Republican lawmakers as Klansmen.
Democrats numbers low money even lower who listens to a democrat and pals BS not selling they proved over and over they can’t do anything to help America.
