Joy Reid Calls GOP Attacks On Voting Rights ‘Intellectually Dishonest’ | The ReidOut | MSNBC
Perfect commentary 👏🏽
Right the bill was how long and just required ID?
@David Drake Enlighten me,what makes it racist?
@AB Mia By cutting polling locations in places of color.
@David Drake Name one?
@AB Mia no they saying why so many laws to make it older to vote not only ID use common sense
Republicans have to realize that they work for the people,
@Walt Likker “violent race mongers” you do know the US has been destabilizing other countries for over 100 yrs?
@Walt Likker Then republicans must work for the oppressed majority of underachieving whites who can no longer count on that affirmative action scam they’ve benefited from ever since Columbus got lost and they declared he “discovered” America. Our nation’s first participation trophy. 🏆
@OUTLAW Videos …. and what information source do you base that statement on? Is it just your misinformed opinion?
@Demetria Karnavas Whites needed AA to invent all the things we enjoy today. Name one world changing invention that came out of South Saharan Africa.
@127.0.0.1 Who has been destabilizing Democrat controlled utopias where 30 black folks can be killed on one weekend?
It sad they also stripped brad raff of some of his power as sec of state, kemp/ followers are evil
That’s the most troubling part of this.
This is not about drinking water while standing in line to vote. Working against democracy is a sure recipe for failure. Probably they will stay out of power for a long time to come.
This isn’t about water and snacks. This is about denying mail in votes, restricting where, when and how to vote. Allowing gerrymandering that favors republicans. Denying independent voter insight. This is about one party proclaiming, we don’t like when we lose, so we’re going to ensure that we don’t.
@Andres Herrera that’s it!
I have never seen a political party so eager to destroy itself, and do it with such determination…..but hey! Ok.
@Elaine Burnett Reinventing the party and bringing it in line with the expectations of the people is hard so instead just make it hard to vote and prevent a section of people from voting.
GQP….🔥💣💥….Democracy 💀
Let’s cancel the electoral college. I promise more states traditionally red will turn blue
I would prefer to see states split their electoral votes. If CA get’s 25% Repub votes then that counts as red. TX gets 40% Dem vote, they should get it. This way you keep the electoral vote which prevents serfdom and you have a popular vote at the same time.
@Bob Smith I’m done. I don’t agree with the electoral college and believe every vote for each candidate should be the merits of winning a election.
@Bob Smith yeah okay a “Left leaning liberal” who spouts fox news talking points
I can’t fathom how little honor someone has to have to lie and misrepresent themselves the way you republicans do
Feeling the need to lie and misrepresent yourself when the stakes are so low just adds to the charge of cowardice
@Bob Smith The US was founded on the idea of democracy, which meant that only land owning rich white men could vote, I doubt that you’re suggesting we return to that version of “democracy”. So then it should be one person, one vote as that is how it has always been interpreted, but you want to disenfranchise urban voters, why? Do you seriously think farmers are better than the people who live in the cities? Seriously, that’s stupid. One vote for each person over 18, and no ones vote should count more than anyone else’s. We have to get rid of the Electoral College; or at a bare minimum we should merge the Senate and the House of Representatives and just have one legislature.
Why go all blue, I mean totalitarian?
Hr 1 is what All Democrats need to pass before any other
If the Federal Government does a voter rights bill in a way where there aren’t loopholes for Republicans too use to restrict voters they could eliminate the problem as a whole.
Troy Theriot – I never said you did.
I never said anything to you kiddo.
Why are you so aggressive, princess?
@Crimdor just stating fact nothing more
💯 Article 1 Section 4 of the Constitution ‘Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such regulations (affecting elections for Senators and Representatives) Pass HR 1 For the People’s Act already
@kathy mcallister Georgia just passed election law changes that allow them to do exactly what Trump couldn’t force Raffensberg to do, throw out people’s votes because they don’t like the way you voted.
@Sandra Lewis does congress ever go by the constitution these days?
Little do the Republicans realize that in pulling this voter suppression stunt, they made a GRAVE miscalculation:
*They are about to see history repeat itself and rediscover WHY the first Jim Crow era died off*
請問大伙，有沒有見到蝸牛的那位鷲大鳥头，??，就是沒有门閂皇殿內的那位，他的炎龙族也找不到，??，，，??，怎麼辦，是要他们變帥俊美回天界，还是純淨心回天界聚餐，??。
The world of thanks should go to Joy Reid for calling these GOP thieves “DISHONEST” …Democrats need better PR Executives to face off the shameless Republicans …Moscow Mitch now has three different positions on Business and Politics…

Incidentally, i am getting fed up with the joe manchin antics! is he really a secret agent of the repugnants!!
“jim crow republicans”, i like that phrase, it should be used more.
I can’t think of anything _more_ American than drive-through voting.

Bone spurs is the greatest sleeper cell Putin has ever deployed
