Map mix-up sends Missouri Republican spiraling into George Soros rant

Last Friday, U.S. Rep. Ann Wagner (R-MO) went on an anti-California rant on X, while unknowingly responding to a post from a newspaper in her own state.

In a since-deleted X post, Wagner responded to content from the account “California Democrat,” which is a newspaper that covers the town of California, Mo.. California Democrat was reporting about concerned citizens against Missouri’s gerrymandering scheme gathering in the California City Hall railroad park.

Wagner took the opportunity to bash the state of California and say that the real threat isn’t the GOP’s biased Missouri map, “but the [George] Soros-funded network trying to manufacture outrage.” Wagner did not realize that the California Democrat was discussing events in California, Mo., and not the state of California.

Although the post has been deleted, Huffington Post reporter Jen Bendery screenshotted and published Wagner’s rant on Bluesky.

When she finds out Missouri is guilty of what she sees is so wrong in California

"Never mind."

As they say in MO, MO republicans are indeed stupid. They don't believe in the 'Show Me' attitude most Missourians have before they swallow hook, line, and sinker.
