On Civil Rights: Racist policies due to Democrats; GOP brings people together

[Campaign announcement]: "It's all about election integrity to us, but for them, they're about fracturing and deceiving people and that's all this racism is about. If you look at the policies that are actually racist, including Jim Crow, including slavery, that all goes back to the Democrat Party. When you look at what Republicans did, it's about bringing people together."

FactCheck by PublicSeminar.org (7/9/20): All things did indeed reverse more than half a century ago. The Democratic Party's ruling coalition, which had prevailed since the 1930s, shattered under the weight of the backlash against the Vietnam War and the passing of the Civil and Voting Rights Acts. At the same time, the Republican Party, seeing a power vacuum, traded white liberal conservatives (which was the majority of New England) and Black Republicans for southern segregationists.

On Government Reform: Falsely claimed bill would allow minors to vote

Budd recently tweeted he's opposed to a federal voting rights bill because he said it "allows minors to vote." His office said he was referencing a provision that would allow 16- and 17-year-olds to preregister to vote. And that's the key word there: preregister. That does not mean they could vote early. It means that those kids could fill out paperwork and get everything in order so that when the day comes, when they do turn 18 and the election does come around, everything is ready to go.
