MAGA Furious at Merrick Garland's Remarks at Selma Church

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Supporters of former President Donald Trump expressed anger at Merrick Garland Sunday after the U.S. attorney general decried efforts to restrict voting access during an address in Selma, Alabama.

Garland, alongside Vice President Kamala Harris, visited the historic city to mark the 59th anniversary of the 1965 event known as "Bloody Sunday," in which Selma police officers attacked demonstrators marching across the Edmund Pettus Bridge as part of a broader African American civil rights movement. Speaking at the Tabernacle Baptist Church, Garland touched on the ways in which "the right to vote is still under attack."

"That is why the Justice Department is fighting back," Garland said. "That is why one of the first things I did when I came into office was to double the size of the voting section of the civil rights division. That is why we are challenging efforts by states and jurisdictions to implement discriminatory, burdensome, and unnecessary restrictions on access to the ballot, including those related to mail-in voting, the use of drop boxes, and voter ID requirements."

The methods of expanding voting access listed by Garland have often come under scrutiny from Republican-led governments. Their subsequent efforts to curtail them have been criticized as efforts to minimize the ability of predominantly marginalized communities to vote.

1. Everyone should support the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. Party and Race should have nothing

to do with it. And more citizens should vote. Every chance they get. It is vital part of our Democracy and would make this country a better nation.

2. More whining and gnashing of teeth from these people

3. Ummm

4. Anything that gets the MAGA gang closer to apoplexy

Is just fine with me.

Either outrage fatigue will set in and they'll withdraw from politics or they'll pop a clot.

Their choice.
