Watch a CNN Host Lose It Over the Virginia Supreme Court Trashing the Dems' Gerrymandered Map

CNN host Abby Philip was having a rough day: the Virginia Supreme Court struck down the Democrats’ gerrymandered map. The reactions came quickly, wildly, and entertainingly, with many not reading the case or the opinion, which was written by a judge appointed by Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) to the Virginia appeals court while he was governor. This positioned him to become a justice on the Supreme Court of Virginia.

It was clear that Democrats violated procedure with this push to gerrymander the state, which could’ve given Democrats a 10-1 advantage. The timeline Democrats used to establish and vote on this amendment, permitting this wild map, violated the state constitution. There are processes and rules that must be followed, you clowns. The best part is that early voting partially sank the Democrats during oral arguments.

Philip said we were in the depths of hell following this ruling:
