Mitch McConnell says we aren't Americans [View all]

At the news conference, reporter Pablo Manríquez asked McConnell what his message was for voters of color who are concerned about their voting rights ahead of November's midterm elections.

"Well, the concern is misplaced," McConnell replied. "Because if you look at the statistics, African American voters are voting in just as high a percentage as Americans."

He continued: "A recent survey, 94 percent of Americans thought it was easy to vote. This is not a problem. Turnout is up, biggest turnout since 1900… they're being sold a bill of goods to support a Democratic effort to federalize elections… this has been a Democratic Party goal for decades."



First - I absolutely do not want Sinema or Manchin pushed out of the party - it would be foolish and give that fucking bastard McConnell's shit ass the Senate Leader position. However - I do want to see them ostracized in 2023.

Second - I told you so. Not you - the average DU'er - but the 'good concerned citizens' who have believed their (the GOP's) bullshit for years. You deep down inside - view us (black folks) as not TRUE Americans.

Third - This vote will come back to haunt America. Mark me on this. In 10 years, maybe 20 - folks will remember. I would not want to be an 'American' in Wyoming or Montana when that happens. Good luck surviving the 'unspoken of' retaliation.
