.@AOC on smoking gun showing GOP gerrymandering guru behind census citizenship q

"I want to know why this question was magically added after a political operative detailed an intent to intimidate racial & immigrant communities for a partisan purpose"

@AOC .@AOC: "I want to know why people like Kris Kobach, with a résumé of voter suppression techniques, have their fingerprints all over the most sensitive census operations that we have as a government. This determines who has power in the United States"
@AOC Everyone should watch this @AOC video from today's census contempt hearing. As she notes the addition of any new census question usually requires 5 years of testing. Trump admin violated every established procedure to add citizenship question
@AOC .@AOC notes that during World War II census data used to round up Japanese Americans at internment camps. I wrote about that in my @motherjones feature about all the ways Trump rigging the census & the disturbing historical parallels between then and now motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
