MYSTAL: "An attack on black people, specifically. A lot of times when I’ve seen this story framed over the last few weeks, it has been framed as a Democrat versus Republican issue, as a battle for the soul of the House of Representatives. It is not. It is an attack by white people against the very concept of black representation. This is Jim Crow 2.0. and I don’t mean that in a kind of hyperbolic way. I mean that on a on a ground level, like what are they actually trying to do?"
