Markey: It’s the GOP’s ‘Business Plan to Suppress Black and Brown Votes’

Pam Key 18 Jan 2022

Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Hallie Jackson Reports” that it was the Republican Party’s “business plan to suppress black and brown votes in order to gain an electoral advantage in 2022.”

Markey said, “We celebrated Martin Luther King Day this week. And it is absolutely creating a moment in history where we have to stand up as Democrats and to fight for voting rights. Mitch McConnell said as recently as today. It’s a winning issue for the Republican Party if they suppress black and brown voters across this country. If those voters don’t get to the polls, the Republicans are in a much better position to win elections.”

He continued, “It will be clear with the votes on the floor of the United States Senate, we cannot find Republicans, in unbelievably 2022, willing to stand up to make sure that black and brown voters are not discriminated against at the polling places.”

Markey added, “These next couple of days will highlight the Republican Party… It’s their business plan to suppress black and brown votes in order to gain an electoral advantage in 2022 and then to reelect Donald Trump in 2024. I think by the end of the debate tomorrow, that is what is going to be crystal clear to the American people.”

Markey: Filibuster Is ‘Racist in its Origin, It’s Racist in Its Intent’

Pam Key 18 Jan 2022

Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Hallie Jackson Reports” that the Senate’s filibuster was “racist” in its origin and intent.

Markey added the Democrats will “ultimately have a vote on whether or not we repeal the filibuster.”

Markey said, “We need 60 votes to protect voting rights. We have 50 Democrats ready to go. Every Democrat is ready to protect voting rights. We need ten Republicans. We are can’t find Republicans to back voting rights, to stop the suppression of the votes in state after state, red state after red state where the state legislatures are making it more difficult for black and brown people to vote.”

He added, “We are hoping that this debate will touch something in Republican senator’s hearts that unleashes a historic perspective in terms of their commitment to voting rights. If it doesn’t, we need to have a debate, in my opinion, on the filibuster. It’s racist in its origin, it’s racist in its intent, and we have to ultimately have a vote on whether or not we repeal the filibuster so that we can pass voting rights without a single Republican supporting it. Which is a sad commentary on the state of the Trump Republican Party in 2022.”

Since when is requiring Voter ID suppression of votes?  It's protection of votes.

Does Markey really think that blacks and browns are so stupid they can't figure out how to get a photo ID?  What a racist he is.
