Wednesday on MS NOW\u2019s \u201cAll In,\u201d Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) said the SAVE America Act was about the \u201cbig bad federal government\u201d purging voters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Warnock said, \u201cI take Donald Trump at his his word in this case, at least. He he is a failed president. He he was hired by the American people because he said he would lower their costs. Instead, he has doubled the health care premiums for some 22 million Americans. Because of his tariffs, which is a tax on everything, groceries are up, everything you have to buy is up. He said that he would be the president of peace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe\u2019s attacked seven countries, more than any modern American president,\u201d he continued. \u201cAnd now we\u2019re in an unpopular war and as a result of that, gas prices are up. And the people can see it. They can see through his lies. He knows he\u2019s going to lose. He\u2019s behaving like a man who knows he\u2019s losing. And the sad thing is that there are those in Congress who are enabling this effort through the so-called SAVE Act, and not trying to save America. They\u2019re trying to save their power at the expense of the voices of American citizens. And I won\u2019t stand for it. I\u2019ll do everything I have to do. I\u2019ll stay up all night. I\u2019ve got to go back to the Congress tonight. To keep, to save America from the SAVE act, which we intend to do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Warnock added, \u201cI want people to be clear who watching this this is not a voter ID bill. You know, I think that you should have to demonstrate that you are who you say you are in a reasonable way before you vote. But but this this bill initially wasn\u2019t even about voter ID. This is about purging people from the rolls. This is about what you just laid out. The big bad federal government literally controlling the voter rolls of states. He\u2019s using voter ID and voter fraud, so-called fraud. And the evidence doesn\u2019t bear that out at all. He\u2019s using that as a pretext to play around with the midterm elections. He already knows he\u2019s going to lose.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
