Democrats 'don't want fair elections,' Crenshaw argued
"Sunday Night in America" host Trey Gowdy discussed with Rep.
Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, the ongoing efforts by the Biden
administration to sue the state of Texas over "election
integrity."
According to Attorney General Merrick Garland, the election bill
signed into law by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott in September
violated several laws, including the Civil Rights Act, based on
its new restrictions in voting. Several Democrats and their
allies in the media have similarly attacked the law for
allegedly restricting people’s right to vote.
GOWDY: WHY ISN’T PRESIDENT BIDEN OUTRAGED ABOUT RISING CRIME AND
THE GROWING NUMBER OF VICTIMS?
Crenshaw, however, disagreed with the notion, calling the law
"very transparent."
"The Texas election law is very transparent and frankly, it’s a
little boring. It doesn’t do a whole lot of things the Democrats
say it does. It just cleans things up, cleans up the process. It
does things like make all the early voting times the same across
counties, so people don’t get confused [and] put additional I.D.
requirement on mail-in ballots," Crenshaw said.
Regarding Democrat concerns that the law suppresses people’s
right to vote, Crenshaw called out liberals’ attempts to push a
"myth."
"One, the voter suppression lie is just that, a lie. It’s a
myth. Number two, no one believes the myth. About 80% of voters
believe in voter I.D. and 47% of voters also believe we have too
lax of voting laws to prevent fraud. The Texas law doesn’t do
any of that," Crenshaw explained.
Gowdy alluded to Democrats, including President Biden, who
likened the bill to Jim Crow laws. Crenshaw acknowledged that
this is a regular tactic used by Democrats.
"This is how Democrats work. If you look at their tactics, they
do this often. They expose a problem, and then they exaggerate
the problem greatly. And when they exaggerate the problem, they
say there’s some kind of crisis, and maybe they call that crisis
racism or voter suppression or whatever it is. The world is
ending. And then they offer these extreme solutions. So they
have to say there’s a crisis in order to justify those extreme
solutions that they prefer," Crenshaw explained.
He added, "Elections are competitions, and in a competition, you
have to be very certain who won. You have to be. And if you’re
not certain of who won, well then you get consternation, you get
division, you get the kind of years that we’ve had in this
country. When Democrats lose, they say the election is
illegitimate. Then Republicans do the same thing."
Both Gowdy and Crenshaw criticized Republican accusations
against the 2020 election as well as Democrat efforts to further
undermine election validity.

THEIR POWER’: BONGINO
"I’m sick of the pendulum swinging this way. It is clear the
Democrats are setting this up because they know that they’re
going to get blown away in 2022. They absolutely know that. And
they want to be able to say that the only reason they lost is
because they couldn’t pass these laws that basically mean you
can drive through at 3 AM and vote. That’s honestly the kind of
things they said," Crenshaw said.
Gowdy and Crenshaw closed by calling out the lack of proper
counterproposals by the Democrats for voting laws beyond crying
"racism."
"My question to Democrats is what’s your counterproposal? Do you
think we should just accept mail-in applications if the IDs
don’t match? I mean honestly, what kind of election system do
you think that would be? They don’t offer counterproposals
because they don’t want fair elections. That’s the only thing I
can come up with," Crenshaw said.
