Former President Obama is facing serious blowback after celebrating
Virginia’s controversial redistricting win — with critics calling the new map shameless gerrymandering, and labeling Obama a ‘hypocrite’ due to his past comments speaking out against the same kind of radical changes.
The 44th president put out a video ahead of Election Day telling
people to go out and vote for the new map, then doubled-down on his support once the polls closed and THANKED everyone who showed up to “stand up for our democracy and fight back.” Critics hammering the move and Obama’s involvement, pointing to projections that could shift the state’s House delegation from a tight 6-5 split to a lopsided 10-1 Democrat advantage.
