Republican Congressman: Pass 'SAVE Act' Or Another Insurrection Will Happen
Texas Representative Tony Gonzales claimed on NewsNation that the only way to prevent another insurrection in 2024 is for Democrats to pass the SAVE Act. This is a redundant voter suppression measure intended to make it more difficult to vote.
Gonzales is putting a gun to the heads of all Democratic lawmakers and extorting them to pass this obvious voter suppression bill or the next attack on the US Capitol or maybe the White House this time will be your fault.
Voting for noncitizens is already a federal crime. There is no need for the SAVE Act, and host Chris Stirewalt understands that.
STIREWALT: But the question is that if voting, if it's already illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal elections, why is the inclusion of this in the spending bill the right thing to do? It seems panderish, doesn't it?
GONZALES: It's a great question. It's like, why are Democrats against it? And almost like, why are Republicans pushing so hard on it?
Democrats are against the SAVE Act because it was created based on a BIG LIE by Trump that fomented the January 6 insurrection and to make it harder for US Citizens to vote, period.
