Thune to Bring SAVE America Act to the Senate Floor

Published | Video Starts at 03:00

The Democrat leader has been calling [the Save America Act] Jim Crow 2.0. a phrase that is not only deeply irresponsible and insulting to those who actually live through that dark chapter in our history, but also insults the overwhelming majority of Americans, including minorities, who look at voter ID and see nothing more than common sense. (03:00–03:07)
