On Government Reform: Biden showed moral courage in criticizing voter suppression

Q: What did you think of this president speak about what he calls Jim Crow racist voter discrimination?

STEELE: He showed his interest in the very fundamental thing that we appreciate constitutionally, and that is the right to vote. And now the test is going to be on us as citizens to meet the challenge of the president to stick our moral courage to that sticking point, if you will, to make sure that these types of offenses to our democracy are rebuffed.

On Government Reform: We know this is all about a fear of black voters

I have been an advocate of voting reform since I was a county chairman here in Prince George`s County back in the 1990s. My view then, being in a county where I was outnumbered -- there are 800,000 residents, 58,000 of whom at that time were registered Republican voters, OK? What this is all about, voter suppression. We know this is all about a fear of black voters. This is targeted to states like Georgia, like Michigan, where black voters turned out in numbers.
