Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) accused former President Barack Obama and former Attorney General Eric Holder of “brutally” gerrymandering the country in the most recent U.S. census.

The topic of redistricting has been at the national forefront since Texas unveiled an aggressive plan to strip the Democrats of five congressional seats, threatening a nationwide gerrymandering arms race. In an appearance on Fox News’s Hannity, DeSantis blamed the state of affairs on the Obama administration, alleging wrongdoing in its alleged influence on the 2020 census.
