'Oppressed': Bannon attacks protections for Black voters in rant
Source: Raw Story · Bias: Far Left
Summary
MAGA strategist Steve Bannon asserted that a law empowering Black voters had "oppressed" Southern states since the days of the Civil Rights movement.During his Friday War Room broadcast, Bannon reacted to the Supreme Court's decision that rolled back Voting Rights Act protections for Black and Latino voters. The ruling effectively gutted the law by declaring majority-minority districts to be unconstitutional and paved the way for additional white Republican representatives in the South, something he argued the GOP would need to retain its majority and control of Congress. "We're not gonna hold the House without this," the MAGA influencer noted. "Let me just be blunt. That's why this fight's so important.""Because you can see those people that are MAGA and those people that are — what's so outrageous and I find so offensive is the South has been oppressed by this since the 1960s or '70s," he continued. "It was clearly unconstitutional. Finally, people in Louisiana had the gumption to fight all the way through the Supreme Court."Bannon insisted that Republican-controlled legislatures move to redistrict their states "right away.""And for those that are getting on with it, good on you," he remarked. "And for those of you like [Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp] and these people in Georgia, it's just once again, their hatred of Trump, because they think they don't get these seats flipped, he's got a chance to get impeached.""And that's what Kemp and these guys want," Bannon insisted. "That's what the establishment wants."
