Frank Luntz gets zero pushback on MSNBC after stating on live TV there's no 'voter suppression'

MSNBC hosts on Thursday allowed conservative pollster Frank Luntz to repeat the false claim that there was no "voter suppression" in 2020, while also asserting that there was "voter fraud."

Luntz made the remarks on MSNBC's Morning Joe after co-host Willie Geist presented him with polling data that showed 71% of Democrats believe that voter suppression is a bigger concern than voter fraud.

"Just look at the polling data that you are viewers are looking at right now," Luntz replied. "Democrats blame voter suppression and there wasn't any. We had the highest turnout in modern times. Everybody could vote."

Perhaps it would have been even higher?

That cannot stand as a declarative statement.

I’d like to see Luntz try that malarkey with Nicole, Joy, Chris, Rachel or Lawrence.

Is the other side of the coin for Vote Fraud to Republicans - It happens, but not nearly to the scale that each side wants to pretend.

Voter fraud happens very infrequently and many times, it's Republicans engaging in fraud. That's the facts.

The picture shows 4 white men discussing voter suppression? I do not believe white men are the voters being suppressed.
