Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) said Sunday that he’s tempted to get a tattoo in honor of Donald Trump’s pushing for a voter suppression bill currently before Congress that appears to have no chance of passing.
Appearing on Fox News with right-wing Trump humper/host Maria Bartiromo, Johnson praised the controversial SAVE Act, which could potentially kick millions of American voters — especially women and minorities — off voter rolls across the nation.
“The president and I laughed about it in the Oval [Office] last week,” Johnson said. “I told him, ‘You know Mr. President, I don’t have any tattoos, but if I did, it’d say “Save America” on my shoulder,’ okay? We passed it three times in the House already, we’re going to pass it again!”
Strangely, as Johnson made the statement, he pointed to his chest instead of his shoulder. Then again, that’s to be expected for a man whose ass is where his head should be.
The SAVE Act would require voters to provide proof of citizenship to register to vote. However, since 52% of voters don’t have a passport, and at least 11% don’t have access to their birth certificate, that could disenfranchise millions of Americans.
The bill would also disproportionately impact lower-income Americans, who make up a significant share of Democratic Party voters.
Republicans can only win when they cheat. And now they want to codify their cheating into law. That alone should enrage every voter and lead to a massive Blue Wave in November, but we have to register, and we have to vote if we want to save what’s left of our republic.
