Democrat Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey was asked about the effort to redraw congressional districts in Texas and criticized the move, suggesting that efforts by Democrats to do more gerrymandering in response is justified.
The irony of this is that despite the fact that about a third of the state of Massachusetts voted for Trump, there is ZERO Republican representation there.
This fact was apparently lost on Healey.

Hot Air reported:
Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey now has Republicans quaking in their boots.
In response to the Texas legislature’s move to redistrict its state to create more Republican districts, Healey is making a brave stand and threatening revenge.
She, too, will redistrict the state in retaliation.
It is a frightening prospect, I know. In a state known for its fairness to Republicans, a change in attitude could have serious repercussions.
Currently, the state has nine Congressional Districts and nine Democrats representing them. Should a less favorable map be created, the state will have nine Congressional Districts and nine Democrats representing them.
Look at this:
Not only does Massachusetts not have any GOP congressional districts, they don’t even share a border with a GOP district pic.twitter.com/7d4C1uHu0h

Massachusetts ‘Squad’ member Ayanna Pressley also complained and was called out.
What Republicans are doing in Texas is a cowardly, undemocratic power grab meant to silence voters.
They know their policies are deeply unpopular so they want to rig the next election.
Solidarity with Texas Democrats using every tool to fight back.

Democrats have nowhere to go on this issue. They have already gerrymandered their states to the max.
