Hi-res version

Stacey Abrams Accuses Mike Johnson of Celebrating The 'Return of Jim Crow'

Mike Johnson shrugs off Black voters’ concerns about GOP gerrymandering: ‘This brings back fairness’

A third of the Congressional Black Caucus could lose seats amid redistricting fight

Rep. Clyburn says GOP redistricting push is part of larger Black disenfranchisement effort

I told the Supreme Court what would happen if it ruled against Louisiana's map. And I was right

Supreme Court paves the way for largest-ever drop in Black representation in Congress

1. Sure mike, sure.

Keep telling yourself that

[CincyDem]

2. ...so says sanctimonious Louisiana white guy...

[Botany]

3. The only way Republicans win (except in places like Utah and Oklahoma) is to cheat.

Stopping “the black vote” has been the cornerstone of the Republican Party’s agenda.

14. In Oklahoma, there was one Democratic representative

Kendra Horn, in the 5th district. She won the 2018 election, but the Republicans hurriedly gerrymandered Oklahoma after 2020, so there are only Republicans representing the state now.

21. I was child in N.W. Pennsylvania our next door neighbor was the County D.A. in a middle class neighborhood

…. and his brother was Ray Shafer who was Governor of PA, to this day he was one of the finest
man I have ever met, and he was a Republican too. His kind is long gone.

20. You have that right... both times!

[PatSeg]

17. Ha, ha, as well as jackass!

7. Kick

9. EVERY district favors whites: fair. Even ONE district favors blacks: unfair.

Mike Johnson, John Crow Roberts, the Supreme Cult Klan, and everyone who supports John Crow (the new Jim Crow) are brazen racists.

[Goonch]

10. ;-{).....

[FakeNoose]

11. Louisiana has problems, just look at their latest Congressional District map

Mike Johnson's district #4 - that's shown in red on this map - why is the green #6 District cutting right through the center of his 4th District? I'm sure it has to do with the high concentration of Black voters in certain areas, and Johnson decided he'd rather not represent them.

The incumbent holds onto power, and at the same time excludes the voters he prefers not to represent. This is how gerrymandering works.... the incumbent has his thumb on the scale to make sure he gets re-elected. The Black candidates won't get a chance because their numbers are diluted everywhere except Districts 2 and 6.

12. Fairness would be repealing the permanent apportionment act and instituting the Wyoming Rule

[mitch96]

13. "Brings Back Fairness"... A great line from the TV show Yellowstone when John talks to the boy..

""Fair means one side gets exactly what they want in a way that the other side can't complain about it. There's no such thing as fair."

32. Fairness...as in light skinned.

15. Smarmy little repuke

18. When Someone Says It's Not About Race

Then it’s undoubtedly about race.

[pfitz59]

19. Mikey is racist trash

always has been

[purr-rat beauty]

22. I'm convinced...anything out of his mouth

Is just pure bullshit

He is just a place holder
Not a Speaker of the House

[rurallib]

23. One of your best ever, EarlG

[Dave Id]

24. No surprise there

Mike Johnson is from the historical slave trade state of Louisiana.

[OhioTim]

25. Black People Shouldn't Have Come Here

if they expected to vote.

[BumRushDaShow]

27. Most of us didn't come here by choice

(but I expect you are being facetious)

[OhioTim]

29. It Was Supposed to Be

Irony

[BumRushDaShow]

26. This was all because of the Harris/Walz defacto campaign slogan and rallying cry

And it is encompassing a laundry list of things that they have planned to take us "back".

[twodogsbarking]

28. Speaking of tip jars. MIke put a tip jar outside his office since he is destitute. All of the tips said "RESIGN ASSHOLE"

[J_William_Ryan]

30. "Brings Back Fairness"

Republicans will continue to advance the lie that white Republican politicians will represent voters of color.

They won’t.

[GiqueCee]

31. What the everlasting FUCK...

... do you know about "fairness", you suppurating pustule of bigotry? You're a racist weasel utterly devoid of even a rudimentary understanding common human decency. "Returns fairness"? Lynchings were fair? Guess how many jelly beans if you want to vote was fair? You are from the South. You long ago forfeited ANY right to White-splain the Voting Rights Act to anyone, never mind to People of Color, and the same goes for the Sinister Six currently defiling the Supreme Court. May God strike you all dead.
