After blocking the recent voting rights bill efforts by the Democrats, Sen. Mitch McConnell commented that there was no need to pass a voting rights bill since “African Americans” show up as heavily as “Americans” in elections. How telling that the face of the Republican Senate delegation doesn’t consider Black Americans to be Americans. No wonder he and others are all willing to make it more difficult for minorities to vote.
God forbid that “African Americans” surpass the number of “Americans” who show up. What would happen to the country then? Perhaps the election of senators who actually work for the people rather than big money?
