Charlie Kirk Exposes Texas Democrats Fleeing to Illinois Over Redistricting Battle with Governor Greg Abbott
Charlie Kirk breaks down the unfolding drama in Texas as over 50 Democrats flee to Illinois to avoid voting on new congressional maps proposed by Governor Greg Abbott and President Trump. The redistricting plan would add up to five Republican-leaning districts ahead of the 2026 midterms, banking on continued Hispanic support for Republicans. Kirk highlights the irony of Democrats fleeing to Illinois, a state notorious for extreme gerrymandering, and exposes the double standards at play. He argues that the new maps actually expand Hispanic representation while Democrats like Jasmine Crockett cry racism, revealing what he calls the core of the Democrat party: a coalition of resentment and racial division.
Texas Democrats Flee State Over Redistricting Vote
President Donald Trump is working with Governor Greg Abbott to redraw the congressional maps in Texas. The new proposal would add up to five Republican-leaning districts ahead of the 2026 midterms, shifting power in the US House. The entire plan hinges upon the idea that Hispanics will continue to vote Republican. This is all being done legally and completely within the bounds of the law.
Now the Democrats are starting to run away. Why are they running away? Texas law requires a two-thirds quorum, 100 of 150 members, to conduct house business. Therefore, they need at least 51 members to abstain. Over 50 Democrats have traveled to Illinois and some to New York and Boston, making the minimum quorum impossible and stalling the vote. Most have gathered thanks to the aid of Governor JB Pritzker, who is giving them air cover.
They're fleeing the state because in most states, the police can force a lawmaker to attend a legislative session. So the only way to avoid being present is to flee the state entirely and therefore beyond their jurisdiction.
The Irony of Fleeing to Illinois
The Democrats are fleeing naturally to Illinois. Illinois is quite a funny place to flee to. This is how you know the Democrats have really lost a step. Of all the states to flee to, you are going to flee to Illinois, which is known for their ridiculous gerrymandering.
Where I grew up outside of Wheeling, Illinois, literally there would be carveouts of little micro neighborhoods. Across the street would be Illinois's 9th congressional district. We would be in Illinois's 10th congressional district. And then literally a stone's throw away would be Illinois's 8th congressional district. All kind of weirdly conformed. It was like a gender reassignment surgery congressional map.
Illinois is the worst offender of all the states across the country. Just look at Illinois's 13th Congressional District. It's basically a 15-mile wide strip connecting five different Democrat cities across 300 miles from East St. Louis through Springfield to Decatur to Urbana-Champaign. The Chicago area is a massive mess. The lines snake all across random districts. Black district here, Hispanic district here.
Illinois is the Wuhan Institute of Virology of gerrymandering. They invented it. They brought it to the rest of the world. Good old Mike Madigan. Mike Madigan was Illinois Speaker of the House. He got arrested finally after nearly 50 years of naked corruption running the entire Illinois House. Remember, we used to say Illinois is not broken, it's fixed. He would hold the power over the Illinois gerrymandering maps as a way to try to prevent Republicans from getting more representation.
Democrats Have Tried This Before
If you're a bit older, this might feel a little bit like, haven't I seen this movie before? And it should. Remember back in 2003, Texas did another redistricting effort and Democrats fled to Oklahoma, then to New Mexico. But of course, in essence, they had to come back. In 2021, Texas Democrats fled again trying to block election integrity laws. They failed again. This will be a failed effort.
Do you remember back in 2011, Democrats fled Wisconsin when Scott Walker was governor to go to Illinois? In 2011, 14 Democrat state senators fled to Illinois to block a vote on Scott Walker's union reforms. They headed across state lines instead of facing a debate, and Scott Walker ended up winning.
Let this be a message to Republicans across the country: more of this, more hardball, more being willing to use political power to stop the Democrats from running roughshod over us. More of this kind of energy. When they come back to Texas, if they violated laws, arrest them, fill their vacant seats.
Coalition Districts and the Department of Justice
The main crux of this is something called coalition districts. It's basically intersectionality weaponized to reduce Republican representation. They combine minority groups to box out conservatives. Traditionally, DuPage County in the suburbs of Chicago was very Republican. What they did after the 2010 census is they would configure enough of Chicago to go into DuPage to dilute representation.
Four of Texas's congressional districts were declared unconstitutional. The Department of Justice warned a couple years ago. Three, the 15th, 18th, and the 33rd, were unconstitutional coalition districts where black and Hispanic voters combined to form a majority. The 29th, while a majority Hispanic, was also unconstitutional, the letter said. It said, quote, it is well established so-called coalition districts run afoul of the Voting Rights Act and the 14th Amendment, Assistant Attorney General Harme Dillon wrote, threatening legal action if Texas didn't bring the districts into compliance.
The Texas Gambit
Here's the funny part. Five years ago, Democrats would have been thrilled with the new Texas map. Five years ago, Democrats would have been like, yes, this is a great map. But do you know what changed? Donald Trump moved the Hispanic vote 10 to 15 points. So this new map actually gives more representation to Hispanics.
Now, it's a gamble. This is a Texas gamble. This will be known as the big old Texas gamble. Win a big prize or lose everything. It's a big roll of the dice. It's the Texas gambit. And you could tell because what it is is more representation to Hispanics that voted very right-wing in 2024. So be careful, Texas Republicans. You have a little bit of caution. You really have no choice but to do this. But it is a gambit. It's not rock solid.
Now, if Hispanics keep on going our direction, we could eliminate the Democrat party in Texas for generations to come. So Democrats are either fighting this because they think the theater helps them or they know it's a real problem. That's why JB Pritzker is involved. He wants to run for president. And JB Pritzker has never run for anything in his life. So it'll be the first time the man has ever run when he runs for president. The man has never ever had anything even more than a light brisk of a pace walk. Man was born on third and thought he hit a triple. He's a nepotistic slob that ruined my home state.
Democrat Reactions: Playing the Race Card
The Democrats are reacting predictably. Jasmine Crockett, a Texas Democrat, is calling the redistricting racist. She claims there's an overemphasis of Anglo voices in Texas. Only 40% of this state is Anglo, yet somehow we have more than 60% of our seats that are elected by Anglo majority districts, she said. As I said in 2021, as I argued against these maps, the math ain't math.
This is just white hate. Pure and simple naked hate of the white race. The war on white people is so clear. What does Jasmine Crockett have against white people so much? She talks about them all the time.
Another Democrat, Josie Garcia, tried to argue that these seats are for blacks. She asked about how many black seats there are in Congress for the entire state of Texas. There are historically black serving seats, she claimed. And of the five that there are that represent the entire state of Texas, three of them were set to be dismantled.
A seat doesn't belong to any race. At the core of the Democrat party is a coalition of resentment, envy, and hate. None of this is racist. In fact, this actually expands representation to Hispanics. The entire project is actually about expanding voices to Hispanics that are now voting for Republican.
Jasmine Crockett yelled that the maps are racist. I don't think that it's an accident that Donald Trump picked up the phone, called down to Texas, told Abbott what he was going to do, and like a small ridiculous child, he just fell in order. I don't think any of that was an accident. This is racist what they are doing, she claimed.
The Real Agenda
The great replacement of white people is far more sinister than any redistricting project. That is at the core of the Democrat project. At the core. Jasmine Crockett is just some circus act in that entire operation. But it's deathly serious. What she represents is very serious, which is the continued attempt to eliminate the white population in this country.
