CNN political analyst echoes President Biden, compares Republicans to segregationists
Fox News
A CNN political analyst decried states' rights arguments against voting rights bills and linked GOP opposition to historical segregationists.
"Democrats repeatedly noted how much the contemporary claims from the GOP echoed states' rights arguments that Southern segregationists such as Sens. Strom Thurmond and Richard Russell raised against the original Voting Rights Act and other landmark civil rights legislation during the 1960s," Brownstein wrote on Tuesday. President Joe Biden.

Brownstein said Republicans' description of the Democrats' legislation as a "federal takeover" was heated language and again linked them to segregationists.
