Quote:A Democrat congressman has been left embarrassed after thinking he could get away with spreading propaganda in front of what he thought was a friendly audience.

On Wednesday, the Republican National Committee shared a video clip of Rep. Shomari Figures (D-AL) addressing voters at a church about the SAVE America Act, using a house of God to spread partisan propaganda.

As TGP readers know, the SAVE America Act is an absolutely critical measure that requires every American to show ID to cast a ballot.

It also requires proof of citizenship BEFORE registering to vote.

Democrats are panicking and spreading scare tactics because, should the measure pass, they will find stealing elections far more challenging.

Predictably, Figures leans into this tactic as he delivers his remarks.

He bemoans the difficulty of obtaining voter identification and then turns to the crowd with a simple question, thinking they will prove his point:

“Watch this: How many people in here do not have ID?”

But the move blows up in his face when not a single soul raises their hand.

WATCH:

A surprised Figures goes on to awkwardly acknowledge that he was wrong.

“Everybody has ID,” he says. “So I thought something a little bit different.”

But if Figures paid any attention to what Americans thought about voter ID, he would have expected this very reaction.

Polling has consistently shown that over 80% of the public supports requiring all voters to show government-issued photo ID to vote. This number includes at least 2/3 of all Democratic voters.

Moreover, 83% of Americans support requiring proof of citizenship when registering to vote for the first time.

DELETED POST

The Soft Bigotry of Low Expectations on display. Even in "High Browed" blacks think blacks are too stupid to take care of themselves. In the eyes of the Left only straight white males are capable of doing things for themselves and EVERY other social class needs help. But those same straight white males are the "Supremacists".

I think they need to lower the bar to take away the dem arguments. You can always raise it later. I would simply require what a lot of states already do, you have to present your drivers license or state photo ID, take away all the other stuff for now, and limit mail in.

Then you change the requirement to get a drivers license or state photo ID going forward to show citizenship. It would sort itself out in 3-4 years. That eliminates all the crap about passports, birth certificates, and women that got married.

That district is not overwhelmingly Democrat. About 55/45. The right candidate could take it for GOP.

Mississippi signed a citizenship to vote law yesterday, as did Florida. SHIELD ACT.
