Rep. Clyburn on Redistricting: I Don’t Think Voters Will Agree with What Trump Is Doing

‘All I’m going to say is be very careful what you pray for’

EXCERPT:

CLYBURN: “Well, they might and they might not, because I do believe that the voters in this country are watching very closely, and they are feeling emotionally what the threat is to our future. And I do not believe that the majority of the voters in this country condone and will agree with what President Trump is doing. South Carolina, our delegation, our House, talked with him — the Senate, I guess, on day before yesterday. But the Supreme Court two years ago spoke to this district and said it was not unconstitutional. But the president says he wants them to redraw the lines anyway. All I’m going to say to that is, be very careful what you pray for, because what I do believe is that, when they finish with the redistricting, there will be the possibilities of at least three Democrats getting elected here in South Carolina to the United States Congress.”
