Last night she starts out with an interview with an old black woman who went to vote in a Texas primary in 1918, and was turned back. Then she moves onto a black man who sued to force the state of Texas to allow blacks to vote in primaries. And highlights that Thurgood Marshall, the first black Supreme Court Justice was his lawyer. And Marshall said this was the most important case he ever handled. Then she fast forwards to 2021 and shows a Texas Democratic legislator browbeating a poor young Republican who had the misfortune to put the phrase "purity of the ballot box" into the proposed Texas election bill. The phrase "purity of the ballot box" also happened to be in a very old Texas election law during the Jim Crow era.
So what does all this have to do with the current proposed election bill in Texas? Jack, zip, nada. It's irrelevant. But somehow left leaning journalists and politicians have made these proposed laws in Georgia, Florida, Texas etc. all about race, when they have nothing to do with it. What's hilarious is that more than once on CNN and MSNBC I've seen segments when they highlight that something like 45 evil state governments are looking at passing new election laws. Do these yahoos realize close to half of those states are run by Democrats? They're trying to blame Republicans for Democratic Party legislation.
This is an effective strategy of the left. Stacy Abrams used it to good effect in Georgia, to help elect Biden, and Warnock and Ossoff as Senators. She got black voters mad as hell because they thought the Republicans were trying to steal the election, and this greatly increased Democratic turnout.
Then you had Trump out there telling people not to trust mail in voting and later before the Georgia runoffs telling people the election was rigged, implying their votes didn't matter. Further evidence of my theory, confirmed by LexusLover, that Trump is a Democrat.
