Georgia Republican Rep. Rich McCormick
This MAGA Pedophile Traitor had to open his stupid mouth and let stupid fall out. Big mistake. Now we know his name, and now he’s on The List.
It would be hilarious if this backfired and got people all riled up for DC statehood. In a FAFO sort of way.
It doesn’t matter what DC wants for the land. Requires the State Legislature to approve any grants of land.
Article I, Section 8, Clause 17 US Constitution.
To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings
Which all of this is a tell. They don’t want to put forward an amendment to undo the stupid SCOTUS ruling, they just want to be the only group that’s allowed to politically gerrymander.
Republicans are so Anti-American it’s sickening
Republicans: How dare the Democrats play by our own rules
Because DC doesn’t have representation…
They’re not “giving land” they’re stealing representation from the people who live there, so Republicans can maintain the seats
Exactly. Let’s amend the bill to say that in order not to disenfranchise the ex-Virginians, and because of the additional land and population, The District of Columbia will henceforth be represented by 2 senators and 2 Representatives.
Does DC have priority over state borders? State borders cant legally change without their consent.
Alexandria et al were given back to VA back in the time of slavery. Because of slavery.
DC doesn’t want it back.
When ratfucking doesn’t work double down!
How about instead they give the rest of conservative parts of Virginia to West Virginia?
It’s amazing that West Virginia exists because they didn’t want to secede with Virginia.
That is most of Virginia, but not most of its population, so… Yeah. Let’s to it.
Holy Calvinball.
If it’s coupled with DC Statehood, why not?
Yeah, D.C. doesn’t want it.
