Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves (the name absolutely reeks of RINO) has withdrawn a call for a special session to redistrict the Congressional map, thus allowing the Democrats to keep their racially gerrymandered seat in Congress. Reeves is calling for redistricting for the 2027 state election but not before.
His bizarre reasoning is that since the Calais ruling overturned a lower court order to force Mississippi to redistrict for racial reasons it is no longer necessary to redraw boundaries right now:
"Because of that, there is no longer any reason for the Legislature to come in on next Wednesday for judicial redistricting and so I do not expect that the Legislature will come in next Wednesday because there is no reason to do so,”
Either old Tate is just a RINO or he's compromised in some way. Either way he is failing America when we need him - this election is of absolute importance.
And yet he claims he is going to work for not just the good of Mississippi but of America, and work with the Trump Administration. Huh? He won't see to it Congress remains Republican but he will claim he wants to work with Trump; he has to know that if Trump loses Congress the whole MAGA agenda goes down and so does the President, maybe. They will impeach him again and again. They will investigate him, stop his agenda, and do whatever is in their power to destroy both Trump the man and the agenda America elected him to implement.
I've long argued the Establishment Republicans want to keep Congress at a razor thin margin, making themselves indispensable and giving the "moderate" wing undue influence. They really don't want to win - just keep it close. And in fact being in the minority but close keeps campaign money flwing and lets them put up whatever loser candidates they like and Conservatives will be forced to vote for them solely because of the R after their name. It will be "too important" to go for someone who is truly conservative. It's how we got some of the real jackasses we've had in the GOP over the years (guys like John Cornyn); it was the better of two terrible options. RINO's love that!
I expect Reeves is just another RINO trying to straddle the fence.
