U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) has mocked Republicans for complaining about Virginia‘s newly approved gerrymandering measure, comparing them to whiny babies. She mimicked a crying baby, saying, “Wah, wah, wah,” and laughed when asked about the GOP’s concerns over the potential for a 10-1 Democratic congressional majority in Virginia.
According to RawStory, the gerrymandering ballot measure was approved by Virginia voters on Tuesday, with strong support from Democrats. The measure could give Democrats control of the U.S. House of Representatives in the midterm elections. However, a Virginia circuit court judge blocked the vote-approved redistricting on Wednesday, following a lawsuit from the Republican National Committee.
