when talking about blockack vot. this is what he said this week. what s your message for voters of color without the john lewis votes rights act, they can t vote in the midterm? well, the concern is misplaced because if you look at the statistics, african american voters are voting just as high a percentage of as mamericans. okay. after that his office told cnn he left out the word other before americans. and today mcconnell sought to clarify but got that missing word wrong again. i want to take an opportunity here to address the outrageous mischaracterization of my history and record on voting rights and race relations as a result of inadvertently leaving out the word almost in my comments the other day.
