Ironic: Tennessee's New "Racist" 9th District Will Likely Have Black Woman Replace a 76-Year-Old White Democrat
While Democrat activists occupied the Tennessee state Capitol yesterday after a vote to redraw the congressional maps following the historic Supreme Court decision in Louisanna v. Callais, a key point of irony stands out.
Yesterday, The Gateway Pundit reported on the vote that sparked pandemonium on the floor of the capitol building yesterday, as a radicalized state representative belittled State Troopers maintaining order, calling him “BOY!” and “mother f*****”, while others burned Confederate flags in the halls of the building. But one likely outcome of the redrawn map cannot be ignored:
The 9th District will now potentially see Rep. Steve Cohen, a white Democrat, likely replaced by Charlotte Bergmann, a black female Republican.
Bergmann has previously run against Cohen in several elections dating back to 2014; however, with the new map being implemented, she has a much higher likelihood of winning the district that had previously been drawn to comply with a now-unconstitutional Voting Rights Act provision.
Bergmann is facing two GOP opponents in the primary election on August 6.
