Rep. Jasmine Crockett Curses Supreme Court After Order Leaves Texas Map for 2026

The video responds to a Supreme Court order keeping Texas's new congressional map in place for the next election.

Overview

  • In a YouTube video, the Texas Democrat said "f--- you" to the Supreme Court over its redistricting decision.
  • She accused President Donald Trump and Republicans of trying to "rig the system" through state-level mapmaking.
  • The Court’s December order kept Gov. Greg Abbott’s redrawn map for 2026, which analysts say could add up to five GOP House seats.
  • A prior district-court ruling by Judge Jeffrey V. Brown found substantial evidence of racial gerrymandering and issued an injunction, drawing a sharp procedural dissent from Judge Jerry Edwin Smith.
  • Crockett was drawn out of her district, launched a Senate bid, and renewed calls for Supreme Court reforms including term limits and expansion.
