RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
>> Absolutely. I, I was born black. I‘ll be black all my life. I don‘t want to hear anybody say that. The Republican Party has not gone out of its way to keep people who look like me away from the ballot box, because it‘s painfully untrue. It is something that has been charged in the courts time after time,
Where how
Decade after decade, particularly across the south, across the south,
How
Where the largest concentration of black people live. So we‘ve seen those in Georgia, we‘ve seen it in Texas, we‘ve seen it well, those states are not led by Democrats. First and foremost, I let you talk. Would you please let me finish? Thank you very much. Beyond that, we have to be very serious about the concentration and the erosion of civil rights across this country. And, yes, that that also precedes with voting rights, the erosion of the Voting Rights Act has been done holistically by the Republican Party. What we‘ve seen from Donald Trump is someone who wants to and continues to try to expand his power by the most illegal means. So, yes, those orders were challenged. Those orders were challenged in Venezuela because, quite frankly, there was no impetus to go there to begin with. What we do know is that more than likely, this was illegal first and foremost. That‘s why he‘s trying to hide the videos.
>> Okay, so a couple of things. Number one, has anyone ever personally tried to stop you from voting? Answer no. Number two, I voted no.
>> I don‘t vote in the south.
>> Number three in this country. Number three in this country. I hate to I hate to remind you of our history, but it was the Democratic Party that tried and tried and tried to suppress black votes in this country, not the Republican Party.
>> We‘re I would like to remind you that when the Jim Crow laws were eroded, they were eroded by the Democratic Party, not by Republicans who tried to hoist them up and tried to continually reenter, reenter Jim Crow in the modern era.
>> I think you need to reread your civil rights history. The Democratic Party doesn‘t have a clean record on this, but the bottom line is Democrats are going to continue to be ruthless. They‘re going to continue to try to gerrymander. They‘re going to continue to try to say the president‘s delivering illegal orders to mess up our military. Who knows what they‘ll do in Washington from here on out. But the bottom line is Republicans tonight didn‘t do this redistricting. Democrats are going to keep doing it. And if you‘re looking for who the most ruthless partizan players are, the Democratic Party.
>> Your Republicans are treating Trump exactly as what he is a lame duck. And I‘m glad that Indiana showcased that. They do have some backbone and can stand up. And I hope other Republicans do across this country.
