Trump scolds Republicans for calling controversial legislation by its official name
Source: Raw Story · Bias: Far Left
Summary
President Donald Trump erupted at Republican lawmakers on Friday over their failure to use his preferred name for the voter eligibility bill. The legislation's official name is the SAVE Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act), but Trump demanded Republicans call it the "SAVE America Act," claiming the alternative name is "much more potent and descriptive." Trump posted in all caps on Truth Social: "IT'S 'SAVE AMERICA ACT,' NOT 'SAVE ACT.' REPUBLICANS MUST START USING THE TERM." The bill requires voters to provide proof of citizenship to register, a requirement that already exists legally. Critics warn the measure could significantly depress voter turnout, particularly affecting the 52 percent of registered voters without unexpired passports and the 11 percent without access to birth certificates.Watch the video below.
