Mitch Stonewall Beauregard Davis Pickett Forrest McConnell says Democrats are overreacting over the state of voting rights because, and I quote; “If you look at the statistics, African American voters are voting in just as high a percentage as Americans.”
Wow.
Wow is right. Mitch is usually way more savvy about such stuff.
“Savvy racist” is a term I hadn’t even thought of before.
But it won’t matter! No one is going to change their opinion on Nathan Bedford McConnell.
Well, “Americans” certainly won’t. Just those unAmerican pissants who vote the wrong way care about things like that.
Bishop Talbert Swan tweeted: “I wonder what’s the difference he sees between ‘African-American voters’ and ‘Americans.’ Can’t qwhite put my finger on it.”
I don’t think Afro-Americans vs. Euro-Americans would have gone over much better.
I think you’re all being too hard on Mitch. From his viewpoint, black people are just as important as actual humans.
Well, that pretty much sums up the entire GOP, not just the Senators.
Reminds me of LAPD Chief Daryl Gates back in the 80s:
So I decided to give up and let them run my political party in this pathetically dysfunctional way.
Clearly not crickets on their shoulders, though.
One simple rule to identify fraudulent ballots. If the paper the ballot is printed on is lighter than the skin tone of the voter its probably fraudulent.
I don’t see a separate Voter Suppression thread (yet), so I’ll put this here:
Several counties in Texas have reported rejecting hundreds of vote-by-mail applications in the past week because of confusion over new ID requirements created by a Republican-backed law that went into effect last month.
The Texas law, known as Senate Bill 1, requires that people provide either a partial Social Security number or a driver’s license number on their application for a mail-in ballot — and that number has to match the identification on their voter registration.
The problem is this: A lot of people don’t remember what form of ID they put on their registration. That’s especially true if they registered to vote decades ago.
…In a press release last week, DeBeauvoir’s office said it had “rejected about fifty percent of applications for ballot by mail that have been received for the March 1, 2022 primary election.”
“Many other counties are experiencing the same high rejection rate,” officials wrote.
According to the San Antonio Report, officials in Bexar County also found problems with half the ballot applications they received. Williamson County and Houston also reported similar issues.
…All this confusion is having the biggest impact on the few groups who are even eligible to vote by mail in Texas in the first place.
Texas’ vote-by-mail program is among the most limited in the country. Only voters who are out of town, over 65 or disabled are allowed to use a mail-in ballot.
…
And mostly Republican voters, hopefully.
I have no doubt that Mitch McConnell’s personal beliefs DO include the ‘fact’ that African-Americans are not really Americans. My guess is he’s always felt that way.
But up until now he’s been careful to avoid saying so.
The fact that he’s now going Full Racist is disturbing; he clearly thinks it will pay off for him, or he wouldn’t have done it.
Have any Republicans commented on his statement? Out loud?
Bolding mine.
I am really, REALLY hoping that they are disenfranchising a LOT of Republican voters.
Or, he is simultaneously going Full Senile.
