Former DNC chair praises South Carolina Republican for refusing to redraw the maps at Trump’s urging

In a defiant stand today, five South Carolina Republican state senators joined Democrats to reject the redistricting proposal, refusing to go along with President Trump’s gerrymandering scheme. Former DNC chair Jamie Harrison praised Republican Senate Majority Leader Shane Massey for showing “deep moral values” and refusing to be “pushed around,” arguing the decision was about doing what is right rather than partisan politics.
