Maya Wiley, Social Justice and Gerrymandering Claims

Maya Wiley, Senior VP of Social Justice at The New School, appears on Bill Maher's show to characterize the GOP healthcare vote as "naked cruelty." She argues that the Freedom Caucus has undue influence due to gerrymandering, a claim countered by the fact that Republicans hold a majority of governorships and state legislatures. The segment also revisits the 2016 election margin, noting Trump won by approximately 80,000 votes across three key states.
