IDs Required! Rep. Hunt SLAMS Bigotry of Low Expectations

Published | Video Starts at 04:12

I have a lot of respect for John Lewis, but the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement act is not about protecting voting. It's about solidifying Democrat power nationally. It's about federal control over state and local elections, which by the way, is unconstitutional. It's about diminishing the security of our elections. And voter integrity laws aren't discriminatory. They are required for a functioning constitutional republic. I tell you today I categorically reject the soft bigotry of low expectations. (04:12–04:19)
