Gavin Newsom\u2019s claim that the proposed redistricting changes would be temporary, calling the idea \u201ctotal fantasy.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-10\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cI think when he \u2014 when they say this is temporary, there is no such thing. I mean, the longest programs are government programs that are temporary. Okay, just remember that if this is a tax program or if it is the redistricting program, anything that is temporary with government is permanent,\u201d he told CNN\u2019s Jake Tapper a week before Tuesday\u2019s vote.<\/p>\n<p>Newsom urged the assembly to place Proposition 50 on the ballot to counter redistricting efforts in Republican-controlled states, such as Texas, Missouri, and Indiana, among others.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the year 2032 when the independent redistricting commission is supposed to come back, they\u2018re going to say, \u2018Wait a minute. There\u2018s still gerrymandering going on in Texas. There\u2018s still gerrymandering going on in Ohio. There\u2018s still gerrymandering going on in Florida. We have to continue with gerrymandering.\u2019 This is what\u2018s going to happen. They will find an excuse. So therefore I don\u2018t think it is temporary. So that\u2018s total fantasy,\u201d Schwarzenegger said.<\/p>\n<p>In response to critics who oppose Proposition 50, Newsom said, \u201cSpare me the moral high ground.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What he left unsaid is that his Democratic Party has gerrymandered the states it controls for decades, leading to more Democratic-controlled House seats than the party would otherwise have.<\/p>\n<p>Schwarzenegger criticized the redistricting efforts by California Democrats as \u201ccheating\u201d and urged the party to focus on outperforming former President Donald Trump rather than manipulating district lines.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat the Democrats should do is they should outperform Trump. To me, it\u2018s all about competition creates performance. And so what they do is with the redistricting commission is that they\u2018re going to go and try to draw the district lines in such a way that they get voted in, no matter if they work well or not for the American people. So the American people get cheated on this whole thing. That is really the problem here,\u201d he told Tapper.<\/p>\n<p>The former Republican governor of California acknowledged that partisan battles between Republicans and Democrats were inevitable, but argued that the real losers in the redistricting fight were ordinary Americans, who he said were \u201cbeing cheated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that if you want to really fight for democracy, why would you go in, destroy the Constitution in California, tear it up and redo it, do the whole thing? So to me, it just doesn\u2018t make any sense at all,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Schwarzenegger publicly came out against the redistricting proposal in a social media post, sharing a photo of himself at the gym wearing a T-shirt that read \u201cTerminate Gerrymandering.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-9\">\n<div id=\"taboola-below-article-thumbnails\" class=\"trc_related_container tbl-feed-container render-late-effect tbl-feed-frame-DIVIDER\" data-feed-container-num=\"1\" data-feed-main-container-id=\"taboola-below-article-thumbnails\" data-parent-placement-name=\"Below Article Thumbnails\" data-pub-lang=\"en\">\n<div id=\"taboola-below-article-thumbnails-sca1\" class=\"trc_related_container tbl-trecs-container trc_spotlight_widget trc_elastic trc_elastic_above-the-feed-premium-card-fp-delta pad-down above-the-feed-placement\" data-card-index=\"1\" data-placement-name=\"Below Article Thumbnails | Injected 1\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"taboola-below-article-thumbnails-pl1\" class=\"tbl-feed-card trc_related_container tbl-trecs-container trc_spotlight_widget trc_elastic trc_elastic_thumbs-feed-01-a-delta\" data-card-index=\"1\" data-placement-name=\"Below Article Thumbnails | Card 1\">\n<div class=\"trc_rbox_container\">\n<div>\n<div id=\"trc_wrapper_927036545\" class=\"trc_rbox thumbs-feed-01-a-delta trc-content-sponsored\">\n<div id=\"outer_927036545\" class=\"trc_rbox_outer\">\n<div id=\"rbox-t2v\" class=\"trc_rbox_div trc_rbox_border_elm\">\n<div id=\"internal_trc_927036545\">\n<div class=\"videoCube trc_spotlight_item origin-default textItem thumbnail_top videoCube_1_child syndicatedItem trc-first-recommendation trc-spotlight-first-recommendation trc_excludable\" data-item-id=\"~~V1~~-5939907026679359451~~mWDGN1yvpTPHarDlqxNOSbFLgO0SU--H2QWWuZo8Va24prb-u6kv0jSS_HVdW5-63aoogmtI0n8idYo9N9hyDNjclKVFqgg1KseUKaizqdXUdCLRkJ1IZdSypJHdtj8yzKhqq7lGvMZto0ulF_zYDpUNHrM6C_hwBqgKtARn8VJJc3lm2jV8-Wqpari8f-PbM-nVLPTr9ihXpFLfhWaVOkXW4MJSXZ6sq6EzxEDTRJ-cxAHXoZjml6V17ZvVjLGk3g5Ho71zwW42-ezlaDPV8pF8y32sVqOwqVHUtvSipK66rXzQfT0owwZYoOtr28H3\" data-item-title=\"Join the Celebration: This 250th Anniversary Hat is Being Snapped up in Houston\" data-item-thumb=\"https:\/\/cdn.taboola.com\/libtrc\/static\/thumbnails\/17912aaddfdd2b4ab6188ca4c3c10e10.jpg\" data-item-syndicated=\"true\">\n<div class=\"thumbBlock_holder\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Screenshot This article may contain commentary which reflects the author&#8217;s opinion.
