Ben Carson blasts Omar's 'disgusting' Georgia-Apartheid comparison, says Biden doesn't understand 'Jim Crow'
Fox News
Former HUD Secretary Dr. Ben Carson said Tuesday on "The Story" that it was "disgusting" to hear Rep. Ilhan Omar compare Georgia's new election law to South African Apartheid of the mid-20th Century
"Our hope is that this boycott will result in changes in the law because we understand that when you restrict people's ability to vote, you create a democracy that isn't fully functioning for all of us," Omar claimed of the new Georgia law, which prohibits electioneering in the vicinity of a poll, expands weekend early voting and strengthens ID requirements for absentee balloting. Carson fired back that it was offensive that someone would use something as serious and dangerous as South African Apartheid and compare it to Georgia's law without actually explaining the purported similarities. "It's so disgusting that people would try to take something as horrible as Apartheid and try to equate it to this and not to explain it," he said. "This is the worst part. They make these accusations, they all get on the bandwagon and they will not sit down and explain it."More Related News
