U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, is hitting the panic button after congressional redistricting in the Lone Star State would boot out of her own district.
"Republicans in Texas just rolled out their proposed Congressional map that cut 5 Democratic seats out of thin air," Crockett said on X.
"Let's be clear: these maps are not about representation, it's a power grab to silence voters and suppress votes.
"They know their policies are unpopular, and they are afraid of losing. So what do they try to do? Cheat.
"If your big idea is 'cheat harder,' maybe it's time to rethink your politics."
Crockett, who is seen by some as a rising star among Democrats for her fierce opposition to President Trump, admitted on video: "I currently don't live in the [Congressional District] 30 that they created," Crockett said.
"They are supposed to take that into consideration, and these are some of the things that the court will look at when they're trying to determine whether or not there were problems with creating the maps," said Crockett. "It's really awful."
"It is a hot mess, and it is so sad that these people have no integrity and could care less about doing what's right."
"It truly breaks my heart to have people sign up [to] run for office, say that they want to help their communities, and they're doing everything to hurt communities."
"It's very disheartening that these are the people that are in control."
The redistricting map is not official yet, and the Texas legislature will hold a public hearing on the matter so citizens can voice their minds.
Crockett indicated she would provide transportation for her constituents to appear in person at the hearing in Austin.
"They want to exhaust us, and I want us to dig deep and show them even more energy than they could have ever imagined coming from us, us being we, the people," she said.
"We are the state that actually brought the country Roe v. Wade; it is time for us to rise."
