Texas Democrats’ Gerrymandering Meltdown

August 06, 2025

Texas House Democrat legislators took off on a jet to avoid doing their jobs in an attempt to prevent the state from redistricting, which would reduce the number of Democrat seats. Now, these “fleebaggers” are getting what they deserve, as civil arrest warrants are being issued for those who left. 

On this episode of The Spectacle Podcast, hosts Melissa Mackenzie and Scott McKay criticize the Democrats’ dramatic attempt at “showing up” and how this whole tantrum over gerrymandering will blow up in their faces. Melissa and Scott also discuss the history of gerrymandering and how it has impacted blue states like California and Illinois.
