The Box Turtle Says the Quiet Part Out Loud

I need you to understand that this is who Mitch McConnell is.

Being Black doesn’t make you less of an American, no matter what this craven man thinks.

When asked about the voting rights bill by a reporter, Mitch McConnell said, "Well the concern is misplaced, because if you look at the statistics, African American voters are voting in just as high a percentage as Americans."

Hello?  Mr. McConnell? The 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America would like to have a word with you:

U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is trending on Twitter after making an insidious comment related to voting rights, in which he implied African Americans are not Americans.

Prior to a vote to move the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to the Senate floor failed Wednesday, McConnell was asked by a reporter about concerns among voters of color.

"Well the concern is misplaced, because if you look at the statistics, African American voters are voting in just as high a percentage as Americans," McConnell responded.

Oh, that explains it.  Black people are not real Americans.

You are a racist dirt-bag, Mitch.
