You can think of things, but it's hard to come up with anything more racist or misogynistic than the assumptions underlying those arguments. Look, showing ID and proof of citizenship is something that Americans have to do every single day. To get a job, to start a job, to board a plane, to open a bank account, to enroll in school, to shovel snow in New York City, to get veterans benefits, to get Social Security benefits, to get a hunting license or a fishing license, to license or pick up a prescription, or to get into the Democratic National Convention, or you have to prove identity with the voter id and you have to, in order to be able to participate in the proceedings, show that you're entitled to be there and that you're a delegate. Yes, they do that. So if they want to call this Jim Crow 2.0, then so too is the Democratic Party. And of course it is not, nor is this. (08:35–09:03)
