Ted Cruz got a blunt and profane reply from a Democratic lawmaker, sending MAGA into a frenzy over the weekend.
After Virginia took steps to adjust its maps to compensate for what it saw as political gerrymandering by Republicans, Cruz weighed in, calling it a "brazen abuse of power" and "an insult to democracy."
He added, "47% of VA voted Trump. They will now get just 9% of the seats. 52% of VA voters voted Harris. Now they get 91% of the seats. (By comparison, in TX, 56% voted Trump; GOP gets 79% of the seats.)"
That comment didn't go unnoticed by Virginia Senate President pro tempore L. Louise Lucas, a Democrat. In the past, Lucas has similarly issued warnings about gerrymandering, especially in Texas.
Lucas responded to Cruz on Friday night with a brutal reply described as "profanity laced" by Fox News.
"You all started it and we f------ finished it," the lawmaker wrote.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez celebrated the comment, writing, "This is the energy. Thank you."
But MAGA faithful Roger Stone seemed bothered by it.
"It's not finished till it's finished fat a--," the Trump ally wrote.
MAGA influencer Braeden simply asked, "So now gerrymandering is okay?"
Investor Adam Rossi also wrote, "Really trashy. I would hope any representative of our Commonwealth from either party would express themselves with appropriate decorum. Children should not see state representatives conducting themselves like this in public spaces."
