approve of photo i.d., so apparently they re trying to do what you re saying i m trying to do. that is outrageous and a horrible accusation. it is a completely true accusation because, kris, your whole career that s why you had this phony voter suppression commission that was such a preposterous joke established by the president that it disbanded because it couldn t prove your claim that voter fraud is a problem in this country. your problem is that some people vote for democrats and you want to stop that by establishing voter requirements. let s not go down this glad we re having a respectful argument here. this is so good for the viewers to have this. kris, let me ask you, when president obama signed that executive order issuing daca, many republicans, conservatives, including you, were up in arms about it. i certainly understood that position. why would you be up in arms about president obama doing things by executive fiat but the idea that president trump can do
rejected by the ninth circuit about ten years ago. kris, just the notion kris has devoted his career to stopping black people and poor people from voting. i mean that s been your goal for decades. that s an outrageous accusation. completely true. an absolutely outrageous accusation. so if you like photo i.d., you re trying to stop people of color from voting? that is outrageous. absolutely. by the way, when this question is polled, the vast majority of african-americans approve of photo i.d., so apparently they re trying to do what you re saying i m trying to do. that is outrageous and a horrible accusation. it is a completely true accusation because, kris, your whole career that s why you had this phony voter suppression commission that was such a preposterous joke established by the president that it disbanded because it couldn t prove your claim that voter fraud is a problem in this country. your problem is that some people
and it is so offensive that republicans cannot just condone this. and they would have to, on and up and down vote, get some of them. congressman, is president trump a racist? you know, that s a good question. most of the time i say i don t care if he s a racist or not. i know his policies are drim terro discriminatory. and i know everything he s done has been a disgrace to the african-american community to nominating jeff sessions to disbanding the civil rights movement to his voter fraud commission that he set up, which really was a voter suppression commission. so i know his policies are very discriminatory, but, you know, my grandmother who was very poor but was very wise, she used to always say if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and
wrap my head around is what they can do with that license, as you described it from the president, that they wouldn t otherwise do. that they couldn t otherwise do. how does that enable them, empower them, embolden them, make them stronger. i don t know what to expect i mean i ve been watching the american right for a long time as a student of history and over the course of my lifetime. and i ve seen lots of different types of racists organizing and nazi skin head organizing up close and personal. i ve grown up with it. the thing i don t know how to anticipate is what happens when a president gives that license, when the president says yes. how that changes the movement. do you have any sense of what s coming down the pike here? you know he started the voter suppression commission which is what i call it, it has nothing to do with protecting the right or expanding the right to vote. you have a voter suppression commission. you have elections coming up. and when you have communities
