    "To call this Jim Crow 2021 is an insult," he said. "What I find extremely offensive is the narrative from the left that Black people are not smart enough, not educated enough, not desirous enough of education to do what every other culture and race does in this country: get an ID."

    GOP Rep. Burgess Owens says it's 'an insult' to compare the new Georgia voting law to Jim Crow

    • GOP Rep. Burgess Owens has criticized comparisons of the Georgia voting law to Jim Crow.
    • "This is the type of fear-mongering I expected in the 1960s, not today," he said.
    • Democrats contend that the law was devised to target voter turnout among Black voters.

    GOP Rep. Burgess Owens of Utah on Tuesday blasted Democratic-led criticism of the new Georgia voting law, rejecting comparisons of the legislation to the Jim Crow South as "absolutely outrageous."

    Owens, a conservative Black freshman congressman who grew up in segregation-era Florida, testified during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing called "Jim Crow 2021: The Latest Assault on the Right to Vote." He zeroed in on the Georgia law's bolstered photo identification requirements for absentee balloting.

    The congressman called out "the left" for their opposition to the measure and rejected the law being linked to racially-driven restrictions from the past.

    "To call this Jim Crow 2021 is an insult," he said. "What I find extremely offensive is the narrative from the left that Black people are not smart enough, not educated enough, not desirous enough of education to do what every other culture and race does in this country: get an ID."

    Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the chairman of the committee, stressed that although 1960s-era civil rights legislation legally barred racist practices such as literacy tests, the GOP-driven push to enact restrictive voting measures has spread throughout the country this year.

    "These new pieces of legislation may not involve literacy tests, counting the number of jelly beans in a jar like the original Jim Crow, but make no mistake, they are a deliberate effort to suppress voters of color," he said.

    "The voters who did vote in the last election were not their voters," Durbin said of the GOP-led voting restrictions in typically red states. "That is fundamentally un-American."

    I suppose you are also going to call the black Senator from the state next door nasty names as well. Shortly he will be delivering the response to the State of the Union address. Whatever...
