U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland has claimed that efforts to strengthen America’s elections would disenfranchise black voters. Garland peddled the long-standing, Democrat conspiracy theory that suggests Republicans are trying to rob black people of their vote. The theory relies on the central claim that black Americans are too stupid to obtain identification.
Garland’s comments came during an appearance at Tabernacle Baptist Church in Selma, Alabama on Sunday commemorating the 59th anniversary of ‘Bloody Sunday.’ He told the congregation that Biden’s Justice Department is “challenging efforts by states and jurisdictions to implement discriminatory, burdensome and unnecessary restrictions on access to the ballot, including those related to mail-in voting, the use of drop boxes, and voter ID requirements … [and] working to block the adoption of discriminatory redistricting plans that dilute the vote of black voters and other voters of color.”
“The right to vote is still under attack,” he claimed, without evidence, while implying black Americans are unable to obtain IDs due to their low competency levels.
While Garland and other far-left Democrats may assert that restrictions on mail-in voting, drop boxes, and voter ID requirements are racist, the majority of Americans recognize these measures as legitimate efforts to combat voter fraud and overwhelmingly support them.
Garland maintained that “such measures threaten the foundation of our system of government,” again, without any evidence for the wild claim.
