“The crisis began in a republican state. Texas turned on a game and California is simply leveling the playing field instead of waiting until [Texas Gov. Greg] Abbott and Trump burn our own home, “Sade Elhawary, a member of the Los Angeles Democratic Assembly, said during Thursday’s debate, before criticizing his Republican colleagues for supporting” Trump-Mandering and Trump. “
But Republicans have also been strident in their rejection.
James Gallagher, the Republican leader in the state assembly, said Thursday during the debate on the bill that, although Democrats may have the power to advance with their plan, they will see fuel in the political fires of the Nation if they do.
“You advance forward fighting fire with fire, what happens? You burn everything,” he said.
“The right of the people to represent is exactly what will be sacrificed when we continue along this path, when after doing so, Missouri does it, or Indiana does it. Colorado is talking about doing so. In the end of that, the parties will determine who represents and people will be impotent to choose their own representatives,” Gallagher continued.
Evoking the Bible, it came to ask the Republicans and Democrats to “return the other cheek” and disassemble in California while asking Texas Republicans to do the same.
“Our democracy will persist while we defend ourselves. And if there is a weakness that we have at this time in our Republic, it is that legislators do not face the executives of their own party,” he added.
