Obama, Holder slam GOP states for gerrymandering, but silent as Democrats do the same thing
Fox News
Former President Barack Obama and former Attorney General Eric Holder are sharp critics of gerrymandering in GOP states, but stay silent when blue states do the same thing.
Holder, in an appearance on MSNBC this month, advocated for "fair line drawing" and said Republicans "gamed" the system in the redistricting after the 2010 census. He has also attacked red states for gerrymandering for months.
Texas is one of the most cited examples of GOP gerrymandering. The state is being sued by the Department of Justice, which alleges the state drew its congressional districts with the aim of limiting the impact of minority voters. And it's far from the only red state that gerrymanders, as the NDRC points out.
