The Democrats' breathtaking hypocrisy on voter identification has been laid bare, and Washington Examiner columnist Joe Concha isn't letting them get away with it.
For years, Democrats shrieked that requiring voters to prove their identity was tantamount to "Jim Crow" voter suppression. They filed lawsuit after lawsuit, claiming that asking for basic ID was racist and unconstitutional. But now that Republicans are pushing the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act to ensure only citizens can vote, suddenly Democrats are singing a different tune.
The SAVE Act, which passed the Republican-controlled House with only ONE Democrat brave enough to support election integrity, would require states to verify proof of citizenship before registering voters. It's common sense legislation that any patriotic American should support - unless you're counting on illegal votes to win elections.
Democrats' Stunning Reversal
Concha demolished the left's flip-flopping in his analysis, pointing out how the same party that called voter ID laws "voter suppression" is now mysteriously quiet about citizenship verification. Why? Because they know their electoral chances depend on a system where anyone - citizen or not - can potentially cast a ballot.
"The party has said before that voter ID laws are voter suppression," Concha noted, exposing the glaring inconsistency in Democrat messaging. When it served their purposes to oppose election security, they wrapped themselves in civil rights rhetoric. Now that President Trump is back in office implementing his America First agenda, including mass deportations of illegal immigrants, Democrats are scrambling to find new talking points.
"This is about ensuring that American elections are decided by American citizens - not foreign nationals who have no business influencing our democracy."
The timing couldn't be more perfect. As President Trump's administration ramps up deportation efforts and builds on his mandate to secure our borders, the SAVE Act represents another crucial victory for election integrity. Patriots across the nation are demanding answers: if Democrats truly believed voter ID was suppressive, why aren't they fighting the SAVE Act with the same fervor?
The answer is simple - they got caught. Their "Jim Crow" narrative was always a smokescreen to keep elections vulnerable to fraud and foreign interference.
How long will Americans tolerate politicians who change their principles faster than they change their talking points?
