During a live interview on Don Lemon’s show, Texas state Rep. Jolanda Jones used extreme language to defend Democrats’ decision to flee the state and avoid a vote on a GOP-led redistricting plan. The remark, which likened the redistricting effort to the Holocaust, ignited fierce debate and criticism. In response to the backlash, Jones issued a public apology, stating that her comments were inappropriate and that she fully understood the sensitivity of drawing such a comparison.
