Rep. Owens, who 'experienced' Jim Crow, calls Georgia comparisons 'outrageous,' accuses Dems of 'true racism'
Fox News
The Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing on voting rights focusing on Georgia's new election law, but before witnesses even began fielding questions there was immediate pushback over how Democrats framed the hearing itself.
"As someone who has actually experienced Jim Crow laws I’d like to set the record straight," Owens said, asserting that "any comparison between this law and Jim Crow is absolutely outrageous." Owens recalled protesting outside a theater where Black people were not allowed to enter, seeing public restrooms designated for White men, White women, and "colored" people. Additionally, he referenced discriminatory practices such as literacy tests, property tests, as well as violence and intimidation "that made it nearly impossible" for Black people to vote.
