Democrats seem to think they can steamroll every issue by yelling “racism” loud enough. Someone needs to remind them the point of the proverb, “if you only have a hammer, everything is a nail,” is to highlight the folly of applying the same solution to every problem. Earlier today, the Democrat-controlled (but not Democrat-majority) Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing titled, “Jim Crow 2021: The Latest Assault on the Right to Vote.” Predictably, the hearing recycled debunked accusations about how Republicans want to block minority voters.
Democrats evidently hoped to paint a target on Georgia’s back, calling four out of seven witnesses from the Peach State. Last month, Georgia enacted a bipartisan law that fixed problems identified in the 2020 election, boosting election security while increasing voter access. Democrats embarrassed themselves by launching a full-fledged, nationwide media assault that failed to land any punches. They soon turned to threatening corporations into boycotting Georgia, which worked for a week or two. But after dancing like marionettes for the woke mob, corporate leaders got wiser when they had time to actually read the bill. Now, it seems, Democrats are trying to attack Georgia’s voting law from another angle.
Stacey Abrams called the bill racist in the hearing, but without specifying how. “I think there are components of it that are indeed racist because they use racial animus as a means for targeting the behaviors of certain voters to limit their participation in elections,” she said. Of course, just because she thinks something doesn’t make it so. It’s ridiculous to insist lawmakers have the burden of proof to show a law is not racist. Rep. Burgess Owens (R-Utah) retorted that comparing the Georgia election law to the Jim Crow discrimination that he lived through was “absolutely outrageous.”
The Democrats have an overabundance of loud, pushy, entitled women in their ranks.
