McConnell did not lie. He uttered a factual statement. Get over it.
He uttered a factual statement with the clear intent to cover up another factual statement, namely:
When you pose it as "African Americans" and "all Americans" it's pretty close.
When you pose it as "Minorities and White Americans" it looks a lot different.
...African Americans are not alone in having their vote suppressed.
Uttering a statement to cover up another statement, when it is known to cover a statement, is a lie.
I am accusing McConnell of lying, by that definition.
Do you wish to argue that:
"Uttering a statement to cover up another statement, when it is known to cover a statement"
Is not fucked up and evil behavior?
Because with me it's either argue exactly that "Uttering a statement to cover up another statement, when it is known to cover a statement" is or is not "fucked up and evil behavior"
Or
Whether McConnell "Uttered a statement to cover up another statement, when it is known to cover a statement".
We can descend into all the ways that second thing, of he did not know it to cover another thing, not wish to, impute him as an idiot, or as making a racist Freudian slip, or merely insensitive and callous, and none of these things speak to competency as a representative.
I repeat, McConnell Uttered that we don't need to address voter suppression, and his reasoning was that massive, reeking abuse of statistics, complete with a golden studding of sweet corn.
When you pose it as "Minorities and White Americans" it looks a lot different.
...African Americans are not alone in having their vote suppressed.
