Gavin Newsom Clutches Pearls over Redistricting in Southern States: ‘This Is Jim Crow 2.0’

NEWSOM: "This is Jim Crow 2.0. It's sick. Stone-cold racism and of scale I never thought I’d see in my lifetime, never have seen in my lifetime. It’s all happening, bringing us back to pre-1960s world. It’s jaw dropping, what’s happened. It was jaw-dropping, what Governor Landry did. He suspended a primary election where tens of thousands of people had already voted. Why? To redistrict two districts to eliminate black representation. I can’t believe that we’re experiencing this. My parents talked to me about this, I sai, 'Well, thank God, it's not gonna happen on my lifetime-' And it’s happening in real time. Anti-woke is anti-black. All these attacks on DEI, it’s anti-black. The level of racism is sick. Rewriting history, censoring historical fact. A number of African Americans have been eliminated from key positions and posts, the Pentagon and elsewhere. It’s sick. It's happening in the United States of America in the open and it needs to be called up. So forgive me for reacting this way. And I feel deep responsibility to do something about this and nothing to do with me as governor, just as a human being. This is not why our Founding Fathers lived and died. It was about the expansion of liberties, expansion of freedom, including more and more people. And we’re seeing exactly the opposite taking shape under this administration."
