OMG: Trump gets instant karma after crazy Thanksgiving rant - Brian Tyler Cohen



This video discusses a Donald Trump's Thanksgiving Day social media post attacking Minnesota's Somali refugee community and Governor Tim Walz. The post used offensive language that backfired politically.

Key Points:

Trump's Thanksgiving Post: Trump posted inflammatory claims about Somali refugees in Minnesota, calling Governor Walz incompetent and using a derogatory term

Political Consequence: An Indiana Republican legislator announced they would vote against a redistricting effort (aimed at securing Republican House seats) specifically because of Trump's offensive language, citing their daughter with Down syndrome

Redistricting Context: The video discusses ongoing "redistricting wars" where states are redrawing congressional maps mid-cycle, with Democratic governors like JB Pritzker planning to neutralize Republican gerrymandering efforts

Polling Shift: Recent polls show 68% of Democrats now support counter-redistricting to neutralize Republican efforts, representing a shift in Democratic voter attitudes

Current Tally: The redistricting battles across multiple states are roughly balanced, with some cases still pending in courts
