Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is once again proving that Democrats will say anything to block election integrity measures, this time claiming that requiring voter ID is somehow equivalent to the racist Jim Crow laws of the past.
Speaking on MSNBC's 'Morning Joe' Thursday, the New York Democrat launched into his predictable playbook, calling the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act 'Jim Crow 2.0' simply because it would require Americans to prove they are who they say they are before casting a ballot.
Let that sink in, Patriots. According to Schumer's twisted logic, asking for the same identification required to buy alcohol, board a plane, or enter a federal building is somehow racist oppression.
'The SAVE Act requiring ID to vote is Jim Crow 2.0,' Schumer declared, apparently with a straight face.
But here's where it gets rich – while Schumer is busy playing the race card on voting laws, he's simultaneously having a meltdown over Don Lemon's recent arrest, crying 'police state' and 'authoritarian bile.'
Social media users quickly called out the hypocrisy. One Twitter user pointed out the obvious flaw in Schumer's logic: 'Someone needs to tell Chuck Schumer that breaking into then entering private [property]' isn't exactly journalism.
Another post captured Schumer's dramatic response: 'The arrest is a dark message to journalists everywhere. If you dare criticize this administration, watch your back. That's not democracy. That's a police state.'
So let's get this straight – requiring basic identification to vote is 'Jim Crow,' but actually breaking the law shouldn't have consequences if you're a liberal media figure?
The Real Agenda Exposed
This isn't about civil rights or press freedom. This is about Democrats desperately trying to maintain their ability to manipulate elections while protecting their media allies from facing consequences for their actions.
The SAVE Act simply ensures that only eligible American citizens can participate in American elections. That's not Jim Crow – that's common sense. But for Democrats who have built their power on exploiting every loophole in our election system, even basic safeguards are seen as existential threats.
Meanwhile, Schumer's theatrical defense of Don Lemon shows exactly where his priorities lie – not with the American people who deserve secure elections, but with the elite media class that helps Democrats stay in power.
How long will Americans tolerate this obvious double standard from the party that claims to defend 'democracy'?
