Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—
AOC: Wah wah wah.
We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.
What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

Analysis Summary
AOC responded to Republicans criticizing Virginia's new redistricting map by pointing out Democrats have requested a ban on partisan gerrymandering for a decade without Republican support. Virginia voters narrowly approved a mid-decade redistricting amendment that could shift the state's House delegation from 6-5 Republican to heavily Democratic, part of an escalating national redistricting war between parties. Republicans are now challenging the map in court, and the outcome will likely affect control of the House in 2026—Virginia is one of the states Democrats are counting on to narrow the GOP's narrow majority.
Claims Analysis (2)
“We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.”
Democrats have pushed anti-gerrymandering measures for years; Republicans have largely opposed them. Some Republican-controlled states have blocked reforms.
“Republicans are mad that Democrats have been accustomed to rolling over on gerrymandering.”
This is AOC's characterization of Republican motivation. The underlying claim about Virginia redistricting context is verified by news coverage.
