“GOP Congressman Labels Texas and Georgia as Discriminatory”

Brietbart covers my appearance on WISN-AM in Milwaukee, and Rep. Sensenbrenner’s unplanned and unfortunate call in afterwards.

“During a filibuster-style radio interview in Milwaukee Friday, senior Republican Congressman James Sensenbrenner (Wisconsin) charged that the State of Texas as a whole had a tendency to discriminate against minority voters and should be placed back under Holder Justice Department supervision thanks to his proposed legislation.

When pressed to justify his desire to again empower the Justice Department, he labeled Texas and Georgia as prime examples of statewide, structural discrimination against minority voters.


“Texas and Georgia are the two worst,” Rep. Sensenbrenner argued. “Texas and Georgia haven’t gotten the message.” . . .


“[Rep. Sensenbrenner’s] bill would empower corrupt leftist bureaucrats to manipulate or block state election integrity laws. The reason the left is so keen to have Mr. Sensenbrenner’s bill pass is because they know how partisan voting rights enforcement has become at DOJ.  His bill will be used to help turn Texas blue if it passes.  It will be used to erode the Constitutional balance of power the states have over their own elections.”


When pressed to address a recent interview with James O’Keefe at a constituent meeting about how his legislation would strip voter protections from white voters, Rep. Sensenbrenner echoed sentiments of O’Keefe’s progressive detractors.”
