Rand Paul Warns Both Parties’ Tugs Of War Over Redistricting Could Fuel More Political Violence

But I do think this — and this is on the the negative aspect of both parties doing this — I think that it’s going to lead to more civil tension and possibly more violence in our country,” Paul responded. “Because — think about it — if 35% of Texas is Democrat, solidly Democrat, and they have zero representation — or like in my state: we’re a very Republican state but we have one Democrat area in Louisville and we have a Democrat congressman, we can carve up Louisville and get rid of that one congressman — but how does that make Democrats feel?” Paul added. I’m saying it’s a mistake of both parties and I don’t know exactly how we deescalate this, because once, you know, Texas is done and changed five seats to be more Republican, California is going to do the same thing.
