It's why they try to gerrymander the voting rights of our country, gerrymander minority members of the United States Congress out of their seats across this country because they know they cannot win fair and square. It's why they're trying to pass the SAVE Act. The SAVE act on the floor of the House and Senate. And what they're trying to do is really, it's not the SAVE act to suppress the votes of minorities and women and young people in our country. It's really the Save Their Asses act because they know you're coming, you're coming for them in this fight. And so that's what this is all about. (08:09–08:26)
