Scott Jennings Takes Abigail Spanberger APART in Heated Debate With Van Jones on Virginia Redistricting

CNN commentator Scott Jennings lit up a CNN panel with Van Jones, hammering home why Virginia voters should reject a controversial redistricting referendum pushed by Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger.

Jennings argued the measure (backed by heavy hitters like Barack Obama) amounts to a brazen power grab that would turn a longtime purple state into a 10-1 Democratic lock, despite Spanberger’s campaign pledge against partisan gerrymandering and claims the change would only be 'temporary.'

You know what? Watch Jennings for yourselves, it's pretty damn good:

Should the people of Virginia reward Abigail Spanberger’s straight up lying in the radical gerrymandering referendum on Tuesday? I debate with Van Jones. pic.twitter.com/Uh2vnacLTU

He's just so damn entertaining.

Sadly, what Democrats are trying to do to Virginia is not at all entertaining.

There's a reason.

Straight up lying is very on brand for the Democrat Party

just look at the Republican seats in all of these Blue democrat states.

They cheat i & eliminate millions of Republican voters from having any seats.
