Democrats are completely opposed to voter ID, even though polling now shows it is supported by a majority of Americans of all races.
Last night on his show, Greg Gutfeld pointed out a massive contradiction for Democrats on this issue. Democrats claim that voter ID is racist because certain Americans can’t get photo IDs. Yet at the same time, they will tell you that a child is capable of knowing that they are transgender.
This is an excellent point.
PJ Media has details:
Gutfeld opened by zeroing in on the left’s most glaring contradiction. “You got to hand it to the Democrats,” he said. “On one hand, they think a child can handle the decision to lop off their genitals, but then on the other, they think black people can’t get a photo ID.”
To make his point, Gutfeld played a clip of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer having a meltdown over the legislation. “The SAVE Act is an abomination,” Schumer declared. “It’s Jim Crow 2.0 across the country.” Schumer went on to vow, “We are going to do everything we can to stop it.”
From there, Gutfeld dismantled the comparison itself. “To them, showing an ID to vote is no different than forcing people to drink from separate water fountains,” he said. The absurdity becomes obvious when placed next to everyday life. “Meanwhile, you need an ID to buy Sudafed, rent a U-Haul, and date Bill Belichick.”
The problem, as it always is, is that facts refuse to cooperate with the Democrats’ narrative. Gutfeld pointed out what that voter ID enjoys broad support across racial and partisan lines, then played a clip of CNN data analyst Harry Enten reporting how “85% of white people favor it, 82% of Latino, 76% of black Americans favor it,” concluding that “the bottom line is this: voter ID is not controversial in this country.”

During the same episode, Guy Benson of FOX News made another excellent point on this. Watch:
Dems: Voter ID is Jim Crow!
Also Dems: The filibuster is a Jim Crow relic!

Democrats have nowhere to go on this issue. Most of the country wants voter ID and they don’t, and everyone knows why they oppose it.
