When the GOP won control of the House of Representatives, liberal journalists said that it was because of gerrymandering and that Republicans would quickly cause chaos in the House of Representatives.
After The Associated Press predicted that Republican Mike Garcia would win re-election in California‘s 27th Congressional District, the GOP has now won 218 seats and will have a majority when the 118th U.S. Congress meets in January.
A few hours after the projection, MSNBC opinion columnist Jessica Levinson wrote that the Supreme Court and gerrymandering, not the people, were to blame for the Republicans taking the House.
Levinson wrote, “It’s important to know how we got here.” “In particular, one major Supreme Court case and two shadow docket orders almost certainly helped the Republican Party win this election through gerrymandering.”
Levinson explained her theory in detail. She said that the Supreme Court stopped adding new congressional districts and instead backed “illegal racial gerrymanders” that weakened the rights of minority voters. Mehdi Hasan, a host on MSNBC, also said he was “amazed” and “shocked” by the news that the Republicans were going to win.
“Even though Trump supporters attacked the Capitol and caused much damage, the GOP didn’t have to pay a hefty price for voting to change the 2020 election less than two years ago. They were able to take back control of the House of Representatives today. Astonishing. Shocking, “He sent out a tweet.
Later, Hasan made fun of Republicans in response to a tweet from AP Congressional Reporter Farnoush Amiri. In the tweet, Amiri said that Republicans had set up an investigation into Hunter Biden to keep an eye on the government.
“But, I was told that Americans were most worried about gas prices, that was why they were voting, and that the Republicans would solve that problem for them. Did you lie? Say it ain’t so!” Hasan said something about the news. Molly Jong-Fast, the contributing writer for Vanity Fair, published a piece on Wednesday with the title “House of Horrors: The Marjorie Taylor Green Congress Is Upon Us.”
The article predicted investigations into nearly every Democrat, ranging from Vice President Kamala Harris to Nancy Pelosi’s third cousin once removed. It described Kevin McCarthy as a “cowardly sycophant,” referred to the new Republican House as “the land of misfit toys,” and described the new Republican House as “the land of misfit toys.”
Brian Tyler Cohen, who hosts a podcast on the left, responded to an article by the Associated Press: “GOP wins small House control, challenging ambitious plan.” In response, Cohen said, “There’s…no agenda. That’s literally why they lost.”

Oliver Willis, a senior writer for the American Independent, suggested that the Republicans in the House of Representatives were ready to “go full Alex Jones” with their new majority.
“House Republicans are going to go full Alex Jones, and I am preemptively begging Democrats to point this out for two years and not spend the entire time talking about deficits and ‘kitchen table issues,'” he wrote in a tweet. “I am preemptively begging Democrats to point this out for two years and not spend the entire time discussing deficits and kitchen table issues.”
