KAMALA HARRIS CITES ‘NOT GETTING OUT OF DC MORE’ AS HER ‘BIGGEST FAILURE’ AS VP
“The small businesses, the local communities, the people out here in real America who are actually fighting to save their country. Democrats want to stand as roadblocks in that.”
Harris said on Sunday that while most Americans likely don’t see voting rights as an “urgent” matter, the more the administration spotlights it, the more people will realize that some are “suppressing the right of the American people to vote.”
Roy called her motivations “a lie.”

“There is no question about it this whole idea that they are trying to save the voting rights act is a lie, and if there is anything that characterizes this White House more it’s the word lie, because that’s what they’re doing,” he said. “They want a federal takeover of elections. They want to put the Department of Justice in your neighborhood the same Department of Justice that had the FBI targeting parents for simply wanting to know what’s going on in their school boards.
“But,” Roy continued, “here’s the good news. Because of COVID, the veil is lifted on the corruption of this administration but also local elections, local school board, the corruption in the school, the corruption from our universities, the corruption in the media. The American people are starting to see that the Democrats are now scurrying around trying to figure out what they can do because they know American people are on to their game.”
