Chuck Schumer just proved he's living in an alternate reality where basic election security measures are somehow racist. The Senate Minority Leader went into full meltdown mode over the SAVE Act, calling voter ID requirements "Jim Crow 2.0" — while a stunning 71% of Democrats actually SUPPORT requiring photo ID to vote.
"We've got to get this done and we've got to get it done very quickly. The SAVE Act is an abomination. It's Jim Crow 2.0 across the country. We are going to do everything we can to stop it," Schumer told reporters, apparently forgetting that most Americans — including his own voters — think he's dead wrong.
The Pew Research Center poll reveals just how disconnected Democrat leadership has become from everyday Americans. When 71% of your own party supports something you're calling "an abomination," maybe it's time to look in the mirror, Chuck.
The Hypocrisy Is Off the Charts
Here's what makes Schumer's rant even more ridiculous: You need photo ID for practically everything in America. Want to buy alcohol? ID required. Flying somewhere? Better have that ID ready. Opening a bank account? They'll need to see your identification. Picking up a prescription? Photo ID, please.
But somehow, according to Schumer's twisted logic, requiring the same basic identification to vote — the most sacred right in our democracy — is suddenly racist? Give us a break.
"How is it Jim Crow to ask for ID, a picture ID? That's what the SAVE Act is," one observer noted, perfectly capturing the absurdity of Schumer's position.
The truth is, voter ID isn't about suppression — it's about integrity. Americans of all colors and backgrounds manage to get photo identification for countless daily activities. The idea that requiring ID to vote is somehow discriminatory is not only insulting to minority communities, it's a transparent attempt to keep our elections vulnerable to fraud.
President Trump's administration should push the SAVE Act harder than ever. When 71% of Democrats support voter ID, it's clear that only the swamp creatures in Washington are standing in the way of common-sense election security.
Schumer can scream "Jim Crow" all he wants — the American people see right through his desperate theatrics.
