The big lie works until it doesn t.
The big lie in this case is Joe Biden s charge that the changes in Georgia election law passed by the majority-Republican legislature and signed by Republican Governor Brian Kemp on April 1 are Jim Crow on steroids. This was doubling down on his March 25 press conference statement that the law makes Jim Crow look like Jim Eagle.
This isn t the first time Biden has charged Republicans with racism. During the 2012 campaign, he told a predominantly black audience that Mitt Romney wants to put y all back in chains.
That of course was wrong, and so was Biden s claim that the Georgia law closed off voting after 5:00 p.m. Even Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler awarded Biden the maximum four Pinocchios.
