- At a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on voting reform laws being pushed across the country, Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) questioned Stacey Abrams on why she objects to new provisions, and asked her if supporters of the Georgia voting bill are motivated by racial animus.

Im so glad hes my senator from louisiana,we love him,he dont mind speaking his mind at all and he is a true southern gentleman,
We need gentlemen like Kennedy up here in NY!
Voter ID should be mandatory. It’s kind of important voting for a leader.
Did you have a fake ID to get into my clubs when you were underage? Do undocumented immigrants drive using fake drivers licenses? Did you know that a college ID with a photograph, birthdate, and student number is not acceptable under some of these new laws because the board of supervisors don’t want a bunch of liberal college students voting them out of office, even though the college students have lived there and spent money there for four years? Did you know the citizens of Florida approved overwhelmingly for a law allowing ex-cons to vote? But the state legislators who are white do not want the ex-cons, who are mostly black, to vote them out of office, so they amended the law to say that first, before voting, the ex-cons must pay all their court fees. The only problem is, the courts don’t keep good records of court fees because ex-cons usually don’t pay them back. So the black ex-cons will not be voting, and the will of the people is undermined.
@@TaxTheChurches. not having voter id is racist lol
@JUDGE Exactly.
What college kid doesn’t have an id? You need one to get a student loan.
@@MrRhomas913 or drive a car or buy beer or buy a gun. Wierd how none of those things are racist right lol
Voter ID needs to be a national thing
They need to change how you get voter registration any foreigner can get drivers license and or public aid both offer voter registration !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So...you want to rewrite the constitution?
@@think2023 landowners used to be the only ones who could vote, under the current constitution.
@@vinnie97 the current constitution includes a bunch of amendments you might want to check into
@@think2023 cool story, bro. In hindsight, I suspect legislators of that era would've had second thoughts had they known the toxic fallout they would end up raining down on what was once a thriving republic.
SA: "I am an attorney and a former legislator"

Best comeback.
I have come to really appreciate/love Kennedy!
Hopefully she forever stays a ‘former legislator’. Maybe she can be Governor of Gitmo?
Zero plus zero still equals zero.
^^ Laugh screaming internally
Wow she tore his ass up
Here in Scotland we have one day to vote and we have to show identification.
This. Senator is my representative and I love him. He used to be a Conservative Democrat. He also did voice over narration for Louisiana history in television shows. He is an “ Old Southern “ Gentleman. Abrams is host to a legion of Demons . The race hustling game is not restricted to men like Al Sharpton or Jesse Or Farrakhan .
You do not need ID to vote in Scotland. You only need to give your name and address.
@@halcyon1030 i love this, kennedy is also fckin hilarious. I wish he was my senator but im stuck with assoff and wornock(yes i spelled their names wrong on purpose.)
Which demonstrates your national intelligence. Well done.
To be fair, the US has over 330 million voters. How many does Scotland have??
My husband's company let them off 3 hours early to vote. Many companies allow you to show late,leave early etc to vote.
In my state it's a law. Employers must allow time off to vote if it conflicts with an employee's workday.
No company anywhere in the US can prevent an employee from voting or jury duty.
@Benjamin Shupe shut tf up. Obviously this is her experience and she isn't trying to imply it applies to everyone everywhere, which it obviously don't. Don't make her comment political.
Most the folks that are claiming voter suppression, don’t work. Facts!
@@DavidG-ps1be I think you meant to say "Facts I just pulled out my rear end!"

I guess our taxpayers money is paying for zoom. This money should have been taken out of all of your paychecks to pay for zoom instead of not showing up for your job!!
Kennedy delivered one of the best back handed compliments ever..."where are you" to a huge black woman.
3:20 "[Georgia] would become the 4th state in the nation to require voters to put at risk their identity"
Since when is showing a driver license putting your identity at risk?
Is merely HAVING an ID card putting your identity at risk? What is she even on about
She is about legalized voter fraud.
We put our identity at risk every time we use our credit card! She’s a total nut job
I'm going to try that next time I pulled over by the police. I'm sorry officer I cant show you my ID because I don't want to put my identity at risk.
Next phone call better call saul lol.
For many years of my life I had to vote when I could with no special time off and never missed voting! I have also had to provide ID for 64 years
If a person can't plan around 1 day every four years, that person really doesn't value or deserve his / her vote.
I had to do the same thing make my schedule around the voting day for many years
Exactly! If you make it a priority, you get out and get it done!

Couple minutes roundtrip but that's just one signal not hundreds of thousands plus having to filter out invalids or duplicates.
@@zakkenwasser65 still a bad analogy
ShadowHunter120 not when most votes are done on electronic machines that count the vote faster than a trip to Mars.
Correction...she wants days to CHEAT!
Funny she said not enough people can vote in one day. How many people “voted” 2020.
It was not in one day. Dummy! That is why early voting is crucial. EVEN when you limit early voting less people will vote. That's common knowledge. WTH?
Actually there are a couple of ways to get your vote in "before" election day. And i emphasize "BEFORE". How many elections in the past had similar issues, but yet voting didn't extend beyond election day, but by the end of the day the ballots were counted, and those that didn't get out and vote well I guess they didn't care enough to get out and do their civic duty within the allotted time. What happened when the chads were hanging all over the place those ballots were ones cast on election day, not after, or extended indefinitely until someone got the votes they wanted.
2020 was a joke
@@stevendorty1961 agree
She is trying to talk about black folks. I'm from Georgia and they have the same rights as anyone else. If they want to vote they will. What her problem is is that she is a real racist.
and as long as u r in line at the time the booths close you can vote.
Why is anyone in Congress addressing this woman? I don't believe she holds any office in GA, except what she herself claims for herself. I'd really like to know.

Who are these folks that can’t find a damn polling location or id? You can’t even apply for a job without one🤦🏽♀️
There are plenty of corporations, notably grocery stores, that hire employees without ID, without addresses, no social security number, etc. Sometimes they do have an ID though. Often it is an actual government issued ID, too. In my experience, most of these IDs had been issued by the government of Mexico. Not saying I agree that should happen, but it most certainly does.
Well your assuming they have jobs
To even ask a question like this reveals how privileged you are. Some people can't even get food, but you're talking like it's easy to get I.D. Expand your thinking.
@NickOv Siggers I don't know what you're triggered about, but wake up! No one makes the government create program upon program that places people in positions of dependency. You can't get upset with people for taking what is given to them. Where I come from, the community took care of itself, but I wouldn't be surprised to find out if government assistance programs have taken over much of the work the community did, as government tends to historically do. So you're telling me the people my grandparents used to take me to help with free yard work, and food distribution (paid for by the community), and rides from here to there, religious services in their homes, the elderly, disabled, single mothers and fathers, people with no family to turn to, people down on their luck, these people, who, doubtlessly, without "aide" from the community would suffer a far more difficult existence-- these people that the community (who, mind you, was not "well-off", but had something to offer) noticed were particularly sensitive to the hardships of life-- you're telling me THESE people are privileged? I don't understand.
@@bmerritt2433 If people are struggling to find food, there is in general help from the government for them. Then why can't the government figure out a way for people to have ID's. There are so many places of all types that require an ID. So where is the push from the government to get people ID's. Not a peep that I have heard.
She says context matters...when they throw everything out of context.
General Decker
Watch Kennedy change the subject . When she cut him up with the Georgia voter bill
She said context matters because he gave a vague statement and wanted her to say yes or no without resolving the vagueness.
@@ksmoove1835 yes because her saying calling something is racist then he asked what exactly is racist about it. Then she lists a bunch of things she thinks is racist but none of them have to do with race... is so vague. And its so vague of him to bring up ballot harvesting, then specifically explained what he meant by ballot harvesting, literally specifically describes it.... he gave context and showed context.... its hardly vague
@@chaseo4557 I rewatched it again and yeah I’m wrong about the ballot harvesting. Maybe I’m just misunderstanding the race part. It sounds to me like she’s saying the new measures being put in place make it more difficult for “minorities” to vote and she refers to evidence near the end of the video that shows this and that they’ve tried reaching out about it. Is this just inaccurate? I can see how that would be portrayed as “racist” if it specifically inhibits a certain class of people from voting.
@Boy George I really appreciate the response, I was actually trying to agree with that part. I saw quite a few comments dismissing her because she claimed racism, but she gave a concrete example of how it negatively impacted specific groups of people. I was trying to ask if I had heard it incorrectly but you cleared it up for me, thank you!
I love the way Senator Kennedy says “Thank you Senator Booker. You’re a fine American, sir”. The Southern Accent and delivery is wonderful 😅
I smiled when he did that.
All thats missing is a clean wipe with tissue.
Like watching a western!
He disarms folks with his good old boy accent. The sneaky part is that he has a law degree from Oxford with first class honours back when that meant something. He is extremely intelligent.
@@testodude if we could get Trump’s personality like this, just think of where the Republicans could go with their policies. I voted for Trump’s policies but his personality turned off many people.
Love Mr. Kennedy's ability to cut fog and verbiage and his common sense!
I need a f****** ID to buy a beer pack of cigarettes but not to vote.
Cigarettes are deadly.. lockdown America
So does she..
Mr.Wint America is now a joke😂 if I don't laugh I will be pissed the f*uck off!!!!
Precisely
Its not providing an id that is question. From what I understand is if you mail in vote they want you to mail in your signature id too.
What a dummy. "Tell me what you think is racist?" "ID requirement." "You think requiring IDs is racist?" "No." Ffs
He leads them beautifully to step in their own sh+t
Forget logic as it's not a factor
Hahahahah
When did she say ID requirement was racist? I don't know the specifics of what type of ID requirement there is, but she says she's against the requirement to surrender your ID. She says this twice, in different ways. She later says that making sure a person is who they say they are is a good thing, so I think there's some missing detail that's important.
@@jonnyjazzz Rule 3.8 Cancellation and Surrender of Mississippi Voter Identification Card.
A. The Registrar may cancel and require surrender of a Mississippi Voter Identification Card upon confirmation the card was issued to a person not entitled thereto.
B. A Mississippi Voter Identification Card may be cancelled or required to be
surrendered by the elector if:
1. The elector is deceased,
2. The elector is convicted of a disenfranchising crime,
3. The elector is adjudicated to be incompetent,
4. The elector has moved outside of the State of Mississippi, or
5. The elector is otherwise no longer qualified to vote in Mississippi.
C. A Registrar, who cancels and/or requires surrender of a Mississippi Voter Identification Card shall immediately record the event in SEMS, and provide written notice to the elector by United States mail to the address provided for the elector in SEMS. The notice to the elector shall advise the elector of his or her right to appeal the cancellation or required surrender of the Mississippi Voter Identification Card pursuant to a process identical to the process set forth in Miss. Code Ann. Sections 23-15-61 and 23-15-63.
Source: Miss. Code Ann. Section 23-15-7(8).
In Summary: If you are dead or no longer allowed/capable to vote within that district, your voter registration ID will probably require surrendering if it is presented to a registrar. What is the issue?
"How do you know it was racist?"
"We told them not to do it and they did....."
Not exactly. She slipped a sly "true but misleading stat" in there. She said that when mail-in voting was allowed, "lots of black people used it", IMPLYING that this was racially disproportionate usage. In all likelihood ALL racial demographics "used it" when it was offered. Stands to reason. Black people COULD have used it the LEAST per capita, yet it would still be a "true but misleading stat" to say "lots of black people used it, then they took it away" (obviously due to racial animus)
Hahahaha exactly. Cant give a reason . Just says crazy shit!
Why use racist term. It's over used and miss worded.more like discrimination would be better to use.. that's my opinion.
🤣🤣🤣
She is lying! We all had plenty time to go vote. GA needs Hersal Walker for Gov!

This is called “cheater suppression”.
Well said!
Typically when people say "cheater" you have to have evidence but then again times have changed and evidence is no longer needed to prove you did something. Oh not "prove" I meant assume. Now days "assume" has more power then "prove"
@@kaj1195 I guess you missed the 12 straight hours of hearings with the Az senators. I guess you missed the 8 hours of hearings in Ga. What about the hearing in Michigan? What about the truck drivers that testified about what happened to them on election night. So, sworn testimony from witnesses under sworn affidavits IS evidence. You can look that up. The only assumption I know of is back in 2016 until 2020 with RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA with 0 evidence or eye witnesses. All the Dems do is cheat. That’s how they “win”.

I'm still not clear why any parts of the laws are racist.
Why or How? No person who has power wants to give it up to people who have less power than he has. That goes for rich people over poor people, white people over black people, incumbents over the up and coming.
@@TaxTheChurches. - what are you talking about? Just because people don't want the wild west for voting doesn't mean cleaning it up is racist.
Apparently the part where black people are held to it.
@@TaxTheChurches. - Rigging? Stop. And again, you've told me nothing about why the proposals are racist. Cause black people vote after church - huh?
@@TaxTheChurches. - White and black people vote at different times - Do you have any idea how ridiculous your comment is?
In Arizona, there’s no paid time off for voting either. I’m not complaining and I didn’t complain when I went to vote. I went on my day off, but I also could’ve made time before or after work if I had to.
Honestly. The list of BS things Democrats rattle off only demonstrates they think minorities are a bunch of idiots.
But that would require effort and responsibility which according to dozens of articles I've read is a white supremacist mind set.
Think you need a job to need paid time off.
@@m4ttatt4ck I do work. Only leftists don't believe in working
Exactly. They just want to "pay" you to vote (and get out of work). It is a privilege to vote, not part of your job. With so much early voting available, why would you need to vote during work hours? You can do it anytime.
Kennedy is hilarious. I wish the next Senator would pick up exactly where he left off: "Ms. Abrams, Sen. Kennedy asked how you know this law is racist and you didn't answer. So I will ask the same question."
Notice how she says
"They're required to SURRENDER their Identification"
Emphasizing the word surrender to make it sound scarier.
Just say SHOW your ID.
Word games. Its what they do.
Surrender their ID? What? When do they get it back? Is it held hostage? Who pays the ransom? Just a bunch of word games. I "surrender" my ID Everytime I vote. What is the big deal? Drama!
@@carolmurray5799 I believe she was talking about the provision in the law that would make the person voting absentee, to send their state ID or driver's license in the mail. I don't think they'll accept a copy so that's what she means by surrendering their id.

Don't get caught smiling at another person or you will be labeled a racist.
Don't believe humans are different races and you won't ever actually be a racist.
@@thewardenofoz3324 we are all the part of one race "The Human Race". Some of us have more or less melanin in our skin, but more melanin or less within our skin does not exclude anyone as being part of "the human race". Doctor Martin Luther King expressed this quite well in his "I have a Dream" speech so for a few allow me to indulge us with words from that awesome speech :
Dr. KING: I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today.
Dr. KING: I have a dream that one day down in Alabama with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, one day right down in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers. I have a dream today.
Dr. KING: I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.
This is our hope. This is the faith that I go back to the South with. With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.
Dr. KING: This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with new meaning: My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrims' pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring.
And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true. And so let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania. Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado. Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California. But not only that, let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia. Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee. Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring.
And when this happens, and when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual: Free at last. Free at last. Thank God almighty, we are free at last.
I especially want to point this out in his speech:
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
Dr. King never says within this speech that the color of anyones skin is the most important quality, and that ones color is over anyone else's, nor did he say that we must become divided and go back into segregation, or the Jim Crow years, within this nation, create casts of people. Instead he wanted us all to join in the chorus of Free at last , free at last as one voice , as one nation, as one people, color blind. That is the chorus I want to be a part of !!!!!!!!!!!!

Because you don't want to.
@@MultiSlowjamz I suggest you rewatch. Take notes this time.
@@MultiSlowjamz It's not working. Do your homework.
@@MultiSlowjamz Have you done your homework yet, son?
@@karlmeaney8119 so, if she added buzz words like "Inherent Bias" and "Systemic Racism" into her response, that's enough of an explanation for you, to consider her response a valid answer? Just because Stacey Abrams asserts inherent bias exists, which is an unverifiable claim, doesn't mean that it exists and furthermore, doesn't prove it would have any effect, negative or positive nor does it prove what party or racial demographic this "inherent Bias" directly and primarily oppresses. I have a really strong feeling, based off my own observations, Abrams has "inherent Biases" based off her neverending attempts to inject Race into situations where Race is irrelevant. I have no solid, verifiable or tangible evidence that she's a Racist but, we don't need to verify. The accusation is enough if you say it's, "Inherent" and any denial of the accusation that she's a Racist, is apparently, equal to giving a signed confession. It's complicated? Lmao!
i really like watching sen. kennedy but i just can't stomach abrams. absolutely gruesome.
Here in my state of Georgia, we have WEEKS of voting days including Saturdays.
Georgia will PAY for an ID if you can’t afford one.
We added drop boxes. Now every county has at least 1 box.
Lumpkin county had ONE place to vote for the entire county and Abrams is bitching that a county like Fulton has multiple boxes and multiple places to vote.
Well it used to always be that there was only one day to vote and people made sure that they could find time to do it if they really wanted to vote I think they should go back to the old way of doing it tell them all by hand have a voting day not voting week or month and always have three people what Republican one Democrat and one independent to verify in this last election it was very unfair when they were forcing Republicans out of the building not allowing them to verify the election if nothing was done wrong why were they doing things like that and Stacey Abram was one of the people in there pushing for this stuff and then she criticized Trump the saying that the election wasn't done fairly but she hasn't even admitted that her election was done fairly she still said she should have won
There should be cameras at drop boxes .
Ive been voting for 30 yrs and hVe never been in line longer than 15 minutes let alone 4 hrs. Anyone else?
Big line going in but once we file in and then are directed to our specific ward it's 15 minutes to show ID and get verified and then vote and we're out.
@@wpistol my longest line EVER was when i still lived in Philly for Obama's first term but it was peak lunch time. About 45 to get in the building buy the line was cheerful. In hindsight I still regret voting fort that man.
He had such charisma and literally could've done so much. Instead he may go down as one of the worst
And I have always had to show ID. Including this past election. My town you had to show ID.
@@georgekenny3559 funny how the ID narrative is different than lived experience. PA law says ID is required the first time you vote in your designated location then its not and the funny thing is EVERY SINGLE time i voted while living in Philly I was asked for ID no matter that I voted there last time. Moved to the suburbs in 2010 and my first time voting here in 2012 I was carded as usual and signed my name as usual but was never carded again. Just signed the book and go.
What I'm getting at is in corrupt Democrat held Philly I was carded every time contrast to the reputation
Longest I've waited to vote for anything maybe max 25 minutes.
Spoken like a true politician.Abrams talks a lot,but saying nothing
perhaps you should pay closer attention to what she's saying.
Open your ears wide and you will hear the truth.
I'm sorry her intellect is to much for you to comprehend.
@JC Denton that's right JC and when that fails the rGA republican legislature will just replace the elector(s) and send whomever they want just like someone like Putin would.
@JC Denton really JC? Raising standards? do u understand the notion of replacing electors? that means that when all the votes are counted and a candidate they dont like has won (say Biden) they can just say - nah we dont him we want our guy (Trump) and replace all of the electors that would go to Washington to represent the state - which is far more dangerous but no-one talks about it.
I just want an honest election.
THERE is early voting days, everyone has an opportunity, if they choose to take advantage.
Rodger that you can also do mail-in voting by request here in NH you request it and it's tagged against the voter registration with a specific number. You can then go on-line and see the date received and when the vote was applied and how. This Agrarian voter nonsense is ginned up - it was Back in the day that people had less opportunity for any number of reasons not to be able to vote. Unless I just woke up in the late 1700's to early /Mid 1800's this is no longer the case.
Ms. Abraham is smart enough to know all that, she simply wants to push her agenda. Ballot harvesting.... no it doesn't depend on conditions.
She wants the opportunity to steal votes plain and simple. She’s smart enough to know the Democrats can’t win without continuing to loose the rules
@@abbiebeast yes, yes we’re all waking up back in late 1700’s-1800’s. That where many are taking us way back to the beginning. It feels better saying “We are the victims”....
There's now late voting days too so long as its for the media approved democrat candidate.
Mr Kennedy on point again
Thank you sir
Stacey Abrams is 50% of the reason we have high blood pressure.
Keisreeman-if Stacy Abrams is giving 50% of the population high blood pressure, it appears as though she's doing her job
@@elizabethdillon4945 The only job Abrams has accomplished is keeping the refrigerator opened more than its closed!
@@keepdiggin7680 not sure what you mean with that
@@elizabethdillon4945 I tell u what I mean. Abrams is a known racebaiting puppet for the extreme radical liberal demorats! Everyone's knows it and speaks of it at least in my hood they do. We black folk are tired of the democrats racebaiting and in turn never do a thing to help us. They speak of it for our votes then after they pass laws to mass incarcerate black folk and poor white folk. Everyone is sick of it! Democrats have carried on and on and on about racism and false accused so many wrongly that the word has no meaning anymore!
@@keepdiggin7680 so you would prefer Republicans preventing you from voting. Is that what I'm understanding? Relegating you to second class citizens, pretending you really don't exist. As it stands right now there's one black Republican senator. Is that fair an equal representation? My understanding of Stacey Abrams is that she is working to educate black people and being able to get registered to vote understanding that they should not be turned away or intimidated not to vote
If you want this person, Abrams, to go away, stop putting her in the spotlight. Do not give her a soap vox to stand on.
I must have missed something why is it so hard for " communities of color" to vote isnt it the same for every American citizen?
It's a long answer but you should research it if you're really interested. An example is many big cities have millions of people, many are people of color and the ratio of registrant to poll location is abysmal. There are some locations that are sent to handle 50k to 100k or more people. And then you go to rural locations, where they serve 50 to 100 people. There's one poll location in Iowa (might be another) that has 33 registered voters, so obviously for those people they could vote in a matter of seconds lol I want a lunch break to vote. In big cities with millions of people, that's a different story. However this is a really brief summary, you should really look it up and look at the map because it's interesting the ratio of registered voters to poll locations in big cities versus small towns.
@@Jonat2Go question was why voter ID is racist and your answer is "city polling locations have a lot of people"
No part of that has anything to do witb someone getting an ID. Stop thinking any person is unable to get a ID which you need to be basic adult in society simply cause of their race.
Dont hold your breath while you wait for an answer
I was always told it’s not racist if it’s required of everyone. 👍🏻
@@Joshcooper21 That's the genius of it! It's racist BECAUSE it applies to everyone! Their goal is to have it only apply to white people.
I’d give a months pay to see him debate AOC now sorry can’t type still laughing

If any of you ever see that as a possibility, please let me know, Would love to see that!!!
She's a typical politician never never answer the ?. Talk around it. Go Get Her Mr. Kennedy don't let up.
She's answering every question he put her. the problem is he keeps interrupting her. Are you deaf and not hearing that?
@@ethelhayes1629 let me guess. You think proper voter ID laws are racist too🤦
@@ethelhayes1629 hard to believe there are folks as ignorant as yourself making up the modern electorate. An entire flock of know nothing know it alls, deeply mired in severely flawed one level groupthink, completely devoid of any semblance of ability to critically think for yourself. For the record, since you seem to be unable to discern the truth from the race baiting circular logic & side stepping orations. She didn't answer not question 1, not one single question. You leftists clowns have become so indoctrinated & been fed so much propaganda that you can't even discern someone answering a question & someone pontificating doublespeak to dance around answering a straight question. Get a clue for God's sake
She pretty much nail Kennedy. The question I would ask the Senator is ‘Why change the law in the first place.’ Cause you lost and the Democrat won.
You can't answer if the answer is not what they want to hear and cut your response off 🗨💬💭
She's approaching levels of repugnance similar to Schiff and McConnell. And so much younger, too. Amazing.
My man said I'm an attorney and a current legislator, 💥Boom.
❤️
🌷
She lied to them. "The State of Georgia encourages employees to exercise their right to vote in all federal, state, and local elections and has developed guidelines to allow employees to request time off for doing so. Employees who meet certain guidelines may not only be granted time off, but also paid leave to vote. ... 16(12) Voting Leave"
SO WHAT PERCENT IS THAT?
The State of Georgia is an "At Will Work" State. If you ask off from work to go vote and your boss or manager says "NO", then you DON'T VOTE.
I live here. I have been denied numerous times off from work to go & vote for every election within our State.
@@hhhomestead9935 If you know in advance that your employer is not going to let you leave work to vote, then you can request an absentee ballot and mail it in before election day. You have no excuse for not voting.
@@timhallas4275 Yes, you are correct. As does not being educated at a very young age, which was my case at the time, regarding Absentee Ballots.
Unfortunately, too many Georgians of all age groups did not realize that Absentee Ballots were an option until Pandemic. Again, let me reiterate that this is an unfortunate event. However, you would be absolutely shocked by how many of our citizens over age 60 that knew nothing about Absentee Ballots. Education is key.
@@hhhomestead9935 "If you ask off from work to go vote and your boss or manager says "NO", then you DON'T VOTE." You're State's website differs with you: If you can’t vote in person - either early or on Election Day - you also have the option to request an absentee ballot to vote by mail. georgia.gov/early-voting. There ARE ways for you to vote...if you really want to.
We love John Kennedy all the way up here in South Carolina! He sounds about as country hick is any of us but he's got a lot more marbles in that head than most people will ever know!!!
The late Pat Buttram (Mr. Haney) of "Green Acres" fame.
Great regard for John Kennedy.
His a dying breed unfortunately. People are being taught just like Abrahams and as we move forward more and more graduate with a check mark now instead of a GPA...Thatd because GPA will soon be historically racist..Who woulda thought that these simple deceptions would work so well, but alas, as I sit here the SATs and entry exams are already being canceled.
@@lavazomitchell3416 wow, pitiful
@@lavazomitchell3416 YOU are the ONLY one bitching about Trump 😂 😂 The OC and this comment thread never even mentioned Trump’s name.

Did they go against their state’s Constitution and illegally change the voting process like they did during the Presidential election? Where are there racist Republican voter suppression? Which freaking part is racist? WHICH PART, WHICH PART, WHICH PART?!
"How do you know it was racist?"
Because we asked them to not do it and they still did it. Therefore racist.
Hawaii, which is overwhelmingly Democratic, requires voter ID.
Probably not for long...
She said she supported ID, but didn't support other provisions. Did you watch the video? 🤔
@Billy Cole II blame 911. No I'd required before then.
@@ArchZombeh Didn't believe her, really. Democrats are all in for no voter ID. Seems like one of the Democratic planks. Voter ID for Democrats means voter suppression.
Oh... that is racist
She read most of these answers, you can see her eyes moving from side to side. She couldn't have given these answers by herself, at a hearing.
How does the rest of the world able to vote in one day !
That includes mail votes
A lot of the world is corrupt.. jus sayin.
@@zakkenwasser65 What logic do you base that off of??? How do you figure? Seems like a very broad statement that is obviously not true, but serves as a nice catch phrase.
@@zakkenwasser65 I guess what I mean to say is that one day to cheat is also one day to grade the tests, significantly lessening the likelihood of a cheater being caught.
Paid time off for voting? 😂 I have worked full-time since I graduated high school which was nearly 15 years ago and I have voted in every election since.
Voting is excessible to everyone in this country. Give me a break
But they do not have enough time to go house by house and fix the ballots. It takes days to go into neighborhoods and fill out all the ballots. This give you plenty of time to vote but not to cheat. That is what she is against. That's only about 30 ballots per hour.
even self-righteous dolts who can't spell? (i'm looking at you, chapa)
no,, seriously. i'm willing to look past egregious spelling errors in longer comments, but yours was 2 sentences. and the error isn't a typo. do you 'excess' a building? do you sometimes take things to 'access'?
Kennedy: "How do you know it is racist?"
Abrams: "Because it does all these things."
Kennedy: "Doesn't that affect everyone?"
Abrams: "Yes, I'm fighting for everyone..."
How can it be racist if it affects everyone?
Good point
Spot on 💯💯💯
My first thought when she said that too. I was surprised he didnt call it out.
Democrats hold blacks to the lowest standards. That is racist.
It does not compute
This is the girst time ive heard she is an attorney. Wondered when that happened.
In Australia we vote on a Saturday, between 6am to 6 pm. It's compulsory, and if you are going to be absent, you can apply for a postal vote. The voters name is lined off having voted, preventing voting multiple times. We don't have a problem in the world with it. Why people need weeks to vote is beyond me. We get 12 hours, that's it, and there's nothing racist about it whatsoever.
It's not racist. They just want to cheat and use racism as a shield.
🇦🇺🇬🇧 let’s just stay in the empire the American system is broken and insane
Haha I don’t know where to look .man I love this guy!
She is complaining that she cannot cheat and it pisses her off!!!
it's called election DAY! We ALSO have early voting! So there's that! And asking for ID is NOT racist!
“They refused to abide.” All I needed to hear. Let’s you know that there is only one acceptable answer.
"Because we showed them what the effect was and they refused..."
I would like to see your evidence. All I ever hear/see are affirmations to your own interpretations of what the effect WOULD BE. Evidence requires more than what you think is true.

Nope, he was not prepared at all.

She acts like this doesn’t apply to everybody. She has some valid points but an ID is paramount.
Those of us in Georgia know what she’s all about. I always have to show my ID to vote. That’s not new. The fact that she owns the company that supplied workers at the polls should tell you all you need to know.
Yep...go figure that votes were run multiple times AFTER poll watchers were sent home...
I never knew that her company supplied the workers!!!! Now, I get it!!! and should have known!
We never had paid time off for voting in bowling green Kentucky ever
Or in my very Blue state of Connecticut. In CT which is totally controlled by Democrats we have one day ( Election Day) which the polls are open from 6am- 8pm. The one thing that I will say they pull here though is pull shit with the absentee ballots.
Polls close at 6PM. Open at 6am.
