Hochul: Dems Follow The Rules But Mean State-Redistricting Republicans Are Forcing Us To Break Them

Posted • August 8, 2025: New York Governor Kathy Hochul and her fellow Democrats keep pushing the fake narrative that they are innocent when it comes to state redistricting. Not only have Dems been gerrymandering congressional districts to their party’s advantage for years, but now they’re saying they’re going to up their game and do even more because mean Republicans are forcing their hands. Sure, Kathy, that’s why. Here she is laughably claiming Democrats always follow the rules. —— Hochul: Democrats always follow the rules. But if Republicans are going to break the rules, then I’m not going to follow them anymore either. “It hurts to say that." —— “Democrats always follow the rules.” Riiiiight. Com’on, NYers…get rid of these ppl running your state into the ground. Please!! —— We fully expected a lightning bolt to hit her where she sat. Democrats are only saying this because Republicans have finally grown a spine and are beating them at their own game. Republicans weren’t supposed to ever be on the field, much less playing the same game.

The gaslighting campaign here is nuts. Democrats somehow want you to believe the practices they’ve relentlessly engaged in never happened, and that they really just want fair/non-partisan maps — but gosh darn it the mean ol’ Republicans in TX are forcing them to hold their nose and do some stinky gerrymandering. Hypocrisy is one thing, but this is like hyper-hypocrisy. They’re being hypocritical while trying to erase their well-known past. It’s audacious, that’s for sure. (…)
