War Room’s Steve Bannon with Steve Cortes on Congressional Redistricting to Benefit the Republican Party – “Every Red State Should Do This” (VIDEO) |

In a recent episode of War Room, Steve Bannon and former Trump Campaign Advisor Steve Cortes delved into the contentious topic of redistricting in Red States, aiming to bolster Republican representation in the House of Representatives.

The discussion opened with clips highlighting the alarmist reactions from left-leaning media outlets like MSNBC and CNN, which accused proponents of redistricting of attempting to manipulate the upcoming midterm elections.

“Is it feasible for us to reconfigure five districts in Texas?” Bannon queried. Cortes responded with enthusiasm, “Absolutely! Let’s get started. This is not just politically advantageous; it’s also necessary. The 2020 census was compromised due to the Covid pandemic, leading to inaccuracies.”

Cortes elaborated, asserting that the demographic shifts caused by the pandemic warrant a reevaluation of district lines. “Every Red State should pursue this,” he insisted, advocating for an expedited national census to correct the record rather than waiting for the usual decade-long interval. He noted, “While a census is constitutionally mandated every ten years, there’s nothing in the Constitution that prohibits conducting additional counts.”

“The 2020 census was flawed, not only due to pandemic-related disruptions but also because it included undocumented immigrants,” Cortes added, highlighting the potential repercussions on political representation.

The conversation took a turn when they discussed the peculiar design of the future Barack Obama Presidential Library in Chicago. Bannon remarked, “What is that structure? It resembles the Reichstag! It’s quite bizarre.” Cortes, sharing a chuckle, remarked, “It’s absurd, yet somehow also tragic.”

“Don’t be misled into thinking it’s still under construction and won’t resemble the final design. It’s nearing completion, and if you examine the plans, you’ll see it’s almost finished,” Cortes noted, lamenting the building’s aesthetic and financial mismanagement. He reported that the library’s costs have ballooned, nearing the billion-dollar mark. “Five years behind schedule and three times over budget—it started at $300 million, and now it’s almost a billion,” he continued.
