Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett accuses gerrymandering and racism over new white Republican representatives not reflecting population growth.

Texas Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett criticized the addition of two new white Republican members of Congress, suggesting it reflects racism and gerrymandering. During a hearing with Census Bureau Director Robert Santos, Crockett noted that Texas gained 4 million residents, mostly people of color, but the new representatives do not reflect this demographic. She argued that this is an example of how gerrymandering can dilute the votes of certain groups.
