As if the circus on Friday wasn’t painful enough, the Senate and Governmental Affairs committee is going back to the well today to discuss four different congressional maps which may or may not move to the Senate floor later this week.

On Tuesday afternoon, the Louisiana State Senate and Governmental Affairs Committee will vote on and publicly release proposals for new congressional maps drawn up in the wake of a Supreme Court decision that ruled a map with a second Black-majority district as unconstitutional.

The committee originally intended to meet on Wednesday to consider redistricting, but leadership moved the meeting up to Tuesday after the full Senate adjourned.

The chairman of the committee, Sen. Caleb Kleinpeter, R-Port Allen, said the goal is for the committee to vote on at least one map proposal on Tuesday before sending it to the full Senate on Thursday.

According to the committee’s agenda, four different proposals — SB 116, SB 121, SB 130 and SB 407 — are being presented in Senate Room F.

While national Republican leaders are pushing to pick up as many seats as possible to try to hold onto control of the U.S. House, some Louisiana Republicans worry that pushing for a 6-0 map could leave their party with only small advantages in the number of voters in two of the districts, leaving them vulnerable to possible upsets by Democrats.

If that thinking prevails, the Legislature could go with a 5-1 map. The previous map that was at the center of Louisiana v. Callais had a 4-2 split along party lines.

Several public groups are expected to testify ahead of the vote, including Indivisible Baton Rouge and Indivisible groups from around Louisiana and 10,000 Women Louisiana.

Those “public groups” – otherwise known as Soros-funded Democrat fronts – are almost certainly going to put on the same goat rodeo we saw on Friday. Interestingly enough, the chief cheerleader of the race-commie crowd from the dais in the committee room on Friday is no more, as Sen. Gary Carter no longer appears on the SGA roster. He’s apparently been replaced by Royce Duplessis, another New Orleans Democrat whose only trick is playing the race card.

There is little reason to believe Duplessis won’t engage in the same race-baiting antics Carter did on Friday. But maybe he’ll surprise us.

Interestingly, though, it’s come down from on high in the Senate that calling your colleague a racist because you don’t like his congressional map won’t fly. Along with Carter’s ouster from the committee came this missive from Senate President Cameron Henry…

What’s Henry talking about? An accusation, which appears to be false based on the video from Friday’s committee hearing, that Morris called somebody “boy” when objecting to being interrupted by the peanut gallery.

One Louisiana Democratic Party leader responded on Monday to remarks he says a Republican senator made at the last congressional redistricting map hearing.

Last Friday, tensions ran high in one Senate committee room. Lawmakers addressed Sen. Jay Morris and his proposed redistricting maps. At the end of his testimony, Sen. Morris told the audience behind him, “You all need to shut up.” Sen. Morris confirmed this himself in a statement released last Friday, adding that his comment came after members of the audience talked loudly during his testimony.

Louisiana Democratic Executive Director Dadrius Lanus said Sen. Morris’ comments went further.

“He said, ‘Y’all need to shut up.’ Then, he looked me in my eyes and said, ‘Y’all need to shut up, boy.’ I was in awe, like ‘Wow, this guy really just said this,'” Lanus said.

Congressional candidate Lindsay Rubia Garcia and her political consultant Eugene Collins were seated near Lanus.

“You heard, ‘Boy,'” Collins said. “If you were in those first three rows, you definitely heard it.”

Lanus shared with WBRZ a Facebook post from the Louisiana Democratic Party, which he said is proof of the comment.

You can’t really tell what Morris said in the video. You can hear him say “Y’all need to shut up,” but there isn’t really any evidence he said anything else. (Here’s a link in case this doesn’t embed properly.)

Let’s also remember that Eugene Collins was the local NAACP president in Baton Rouge who gave the President’s Award to a drug dealer up for murder. You can’t get any scummier than Eugene Collins, so things he says tend not to be overly credible.

Henry sided with Morris, bounced Carter off the committee and now they’ve moved up Redistricting Day from Wednesday to today, which has the state Democrat Party furious…

🚨 UPDATE: They moved the vote UP to TODAY! What was originally scheduled for Wednesday has now been moved to Tuesday with almost no notice.

Yep. They’re furious.

So much so that we’re in assassination-porn territory. Let’s hope the Capitol has good security today.
