O'Rourke's Fiery Rebuke: 'Meet Fire with Fire' Against GOP Redistricting Plans in Texas

Former US Representative Beto O'Rourke used a profanity during a speech urging Democrats to take strong action against GOP redistricting plans in Texas, aimed at widening Republican control of the House of Representatives ahead of 2026 midterm elections. The move comes as Republicans seek to redraw congressional districts that could help them maintain or increase their majority. O'Rourke's language was part of a call for Democratic lawmakers to 'meet fire with fire' against Republican efforts.
