"THAT was Jim Crow, and THAT is precisely why it is so offensive to compare that era of legalized discrimination and racial terror to showing a PHOTO ID in a voting booth!"
"And it's just as offensive when groups and organizations like these manufacture faux hate and racial tension, requiring identification of vote."
"It's not oppression. It is not segregation. It is not racism."
"It is a basic standard that applies equally to every single American citizen, regardless of what you look like. You need an ID to board a plane. You need an ID to cash a check."
"You need an ID to buy alcohol. You need an ID to enter these very federal buildings. And by the way, attaining an ID in this country is an extremely low bar."
"But somehow showing an ID to vote in America is now considered to be Jim Crow 2.0. This is NOT about civil rights. This is about political theater. And the Democrat Party survives on manufacturing grievance."
???? WOW! Rep. Wesley Hunt just made the Democrats SPEECHLESS after dropping straight truth nukes
