On Monday’s New Day show, CNN White House correspondent John Harwood pushed the liberal trope that people support Republicans out of ignorance as he asserted that employees of corporations who are siding with liberals on voting laws are “better educated” than those Republicans try to “mislead” about the issue.
The show spent part of a segment reacting to an op-ed Texas Senator Ted Cruz published in the Wall Street Journal criticizing corporations that have supported Democratic criticisms of Georgia’s voting law. Co-host Brianna Keilar set up the segment by reading a threat by Senator Cruz that Republicans might be less responsive to lobbying by corporations that so publicly side with Democrats on the issue.
Even though there were substantial improvements made to the voting system in Georgia as a result of the new law, Harwood glossed over that argument as he accused Senator Cruz of just being “dishonest” on the issue:
That’s what it is is really about about. THEY are the sky people. YOU are the dirt people. How many times has your local Dem called Republicans low class, inbred, etc.? Its always has been and always WILL be a class thing.
