MSNBC Pundit Makes the Single Worst “Voter ID is Racist” Claim We’ve Seen Yet

Conservative News DailyJanuary 17, 2023

I’m sure the late great Dr. Martin Luther King would be thrilled to know that on a day we are meant to take a knee, reflect on his preachings, and volunteer our time to serve our community, we now spend the day claiming everyone is a racist for even the most absurd infractions.

I should’ve guessed that the news network that’s basically a 24/7 liberal whine-fest would lead the charge.

MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace had Dr. Jason Johnson on to discuss how Republicans are busy hatching evil voter integrity laws like… requiring identification to vote.

Dr. Johnson raised that bar with an absurd argument that made my jaw drop.

Despite evidence to the contrary outlets like MSNBC, and pundits like Doctor Johnson continue to spew their nonsense unchallenged. Luckily for you, dear reader, I’m not scared of much, and certainly not of challenging false claims by any side of the aisle.

Inconvenience

This little gem about electoral integrity laws was the Dr. Johnson quip that got the most attention.

“There’s a certain segment of white people in America who would rather have their own lives inconvenienced than run the risk of black people being on an equal plane.”

I find it curious how he doesn’t say specifically what ‘certain segment’ of white people he refers to; I firmly believe you should say what you mean and mean what you say, which is why I’ll probably never get elected to Congress. Let’s chat about this concept of ‘inconvenience.’

Perhaps it’s from my two decades of military service where you are never allowed to be without positive possession of your military identification card. Still, I always leave my house with my driver’s license and various other forms of identification. At any given time when I am outside my domicile, I have my state-issued driver’s license and my military retiree ID card.

It’s not an inconvenience; it’s second nature. Dr. Johnson continued:

“The intention is to keep black people from voting, but it inconveniences everybody.”

It is racist to assume that Americans are unable to obtain government-issued identification cards simply because they have a different skin color. Is it an inconvenience to show your ID to vote?

You will need to show proof of identification in order to fly, get a tattoo, buy beer, or do many other activities such as buying lottery tickets, picking up medication, or getting a tattoo.

Are you telling me that entire swaths of the black community aren’t flying aircraft, getting tattoos, picking up medicine prescribed by their doctors, buying alcoholic beverages, or testing their luck with the MEGA millions?

But what is his argument? White people find it an inconvenience to show their ID card to a poll worker for just two seconds. That they not only find this to be an inconvenience, but that they get terrible kicks out of it because it means black people can’t vote?

What’s next, you have a bridge to sell me in Vietnam?

Shapiro condemns voter ID as racist. But he needs an ID in order to attend his swearing. What irony!

Racist election deniers

Nicolle Wallace tried to make the segment about Republicans who don’t care about voter suppression and only care about election integrity.

Dr. Johnson, however, took it to the next liberal logical step. stating:

“I don’t think you can take partisanship out of it, because really the partisanship is just a proxy for racism.”

It’s not surprising Dr. Johnson takes it to this level; when the left doesn’t like something or finds a group of people that disagrees with them, their default is to label said obstacle as racist. However, they do the same thing when they lose elections.

Tennessee Democrat candidate Odessa King for the 7th congressional District said After her tragic loss by 20%

“I just lost a congressional race due to White Supremacy, gerrymandering, racist (GOP), undercover racist BlueDog Dems, and voter suppression, not cus Rep. Mark Green was better. So I need a couple days to process.”

That is what we call a “sore loser” in my home country. Dr. Johnson also addressed the midterms in Georgia before the votes were counted. He pre-emptively denied the results. stating:

“…we can’t say that whatever happens tonight is a fair and equitable election, because there have been too many laws passed by election deniers to keep people from expressing themselves.”

It’s important to note that there was record voter turnout this past election in Georgia. I also enjoy the irony of someone denying an election in anticipation of the election and blaming… election deniers. Then, winning.

Should Georgia get a re-do since it wasn’t a “fair and equitable election” The Democrats won?

Incorrect Information

For all the left’s talk about limiting misinformation, they sure to peddle much of it with impunity. Concerning the idea that ‘inconvenient’ Voter ID laws are an example where white people want to suppress the vote for black people. Dr. Johnson used Ohio, however, as an example. example:

“I am very sure that somebody living in Lorraine, Ohio, doesn’t like the fact that their ID cards and things don’t work the way they used to as well.”

Ohio state law defines acceptable items as identification for voting. include:

Photo identification that is not expired
Card for military ID
Utility bill
Bank statement
Government check
Paycheck

First, the implication that black people don’t have any of those items is insulting. It assumes that black people, based only on the fact that they are black, don’t pay their bills, don’t have bank accounts, and of course, don’t have an identification card.

In a slightly more clever way, Dr. Johnson says the same thing as Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania. claimed:

“…at any given time there’s tens of thousands of Pennsylvanians who typically are on the poorer side and are people of color that are less likely to have their ID at any one given time.”

Is this a fact? Is that John? Unfortunately, the left never seems to explain this logic, probably because it’s, wait for it, racist.

If the voter ID is racial, then the regular ID is also racist.

What We Want

I love the way Dr. Johnson believes that they can communicate with what is inside everyone’s minds just because they have earned a Ph.D. His claim that blacks would prefer to vote than be inconvenienced by voter ID laws is ridiculous and distasteful.

A valid form of identification is necessary to vote. It’s not difficult. The purest form of voting is to go to a location and declare who you are, your eligibility to vote and then choose the person you would like to represent you.

Everybody should be able to display some form of identification. This is regardless of socioeconomic status, race or gender. Monmouth University conducted a survey and found that 8 out 10 Americans are able to identify themselves. support voter identification requirements.

Now, I’m not a mathematician, but that means a fair chunk of those who are for voter identification requirements don’t have the same skin color as myself and probably range from low to high income. It’s not racist for voters to show their identification before voting.

It is racist to claim people can’t obtain and carry their ID cards on them based solely on the color of their skin.

The U.S. courts have been working hard to avoid stating that racism can be justified in certain cases, but not in others.

Voter ID can be racist, but affirmative actions are not.😒
