During his State of the Union address, President Trump called on Senate Republicans to pass the SAVE America Act, which would secure our elections and require proof of citizenship to vote. "Perhaps most importantly, I am asking you to approve the SAVE America Act," President Trump said. "To stop illegal aliens and others, who are unpermitted persons, from voting in our sacred American elections. Cheating is rampant in our elections. It's rampant. It's very simple; all voters must show voter ID."
President Trump attacked Democrats for their opposition to it, saying, "They reason that they don't want to do it, why would anybody not want voter ID? One reason is that they want to cheat. There's only one reason. They make up all excuses, they say it's racist...they want to cheat, they have cheated, and their policy is so bad that the only way they can get elected is to cheat. And we're going to stop it, we have to stop it, John."
As the President pointed out, Democrats have argued the SAVE Act is racist, because Black voters aren't able to get the documents they need to prove they're citizens, including birth certificates, and that Black voters don't have IDs or driver's licenses. That, of course, is racist.
But it's the narrative, and it's one a Leftist young man tried pushing during a Fox News panel following the State of the Union.

I watched this live and still can’t get enough!
WHITE KID: "The SAVE America Act will suppress the minority vote"

"I just think that the reality is that an act like the SAVE Act is very likely more aimed at voter suppression and at keeping key demographics that the Republican party does not want voting from going out and voting," said Brett Trussell, a Democrat voter.
When asked what demographics, Trussell replied, "I think very often minority demographics."
Trussell's claim was met with condemnation from the other panelists.
"That's not true," said Ajua Mason, a Republican voter who was sitting next to Trussell. "And if I need a copy of my birth certificate, it's just a matter of going online or going up to the department and asking for it, and showing my information to get it. I mean to say it would negatively affect a minority group because they're somehow not educated enough to get these documents is completely outrageous."
As we saw in Georgia, a state where Democrats called new election laws "Jim Crow 2.0," voter turnout rose following election reforms.
He gets visibly angry when she rejects that notion and speaks for herself.

The leftist mind is the most racist mind. https://t.co/0hbNxLVPVJ
He does. Leftists aren't used to being challenged.
People can’t be this dumb. I mean, seriously. Who doesn’t know to go to the courthouse to get your birth certificate? Even if it’s not at your local courthouse, it’s a start, call them. They’ll redirect you otherwise. Call your local DHHR and they’ll redirect you. USE YOUR BRAIN! https://t.co/jEzThWgHkS

The Left thinks people are this dumb, and both Gavin Newsom and Bernie Sanders have claimed they don't know where their birth certificates are, in an effort to normalize this notion.
Editor's Note: The Democrats are doing everything in their power to undermine the integrity of our elections.
