Dem Strategist on Republican Redistricting Efforts: ‘It’s Astonishing We Live in What We Call a Democracy, But Clearly It’s Not Anymore’

We’re about to have no black people represented — no black representatives, excuse me, in South Carolina, where the black constituency is tremendous. I mean, Jim Clyburn is about to potentially lose his seat. And as a Democrat, I will say South Carolina delivers the Democratic nomination every single time for every single Democratic candidate. They did it for Barack Obama. They did it for Joe Biden. They will do it again for the next Democratic president. It is much more important than Iowa and New Hampshire. And to have that state be so disenfranchised and those black voters be so disenfranchised, it’s just — it is astonishing that we’re living in what is called a democracy, but clearly is not anymore.”
