Georgia Senator Raphael Warnock was one of a number of prominent Democrats who made false statements concerning Georgia’s new voting law.
Warnock, along with failed 2018 Georgia Democratic gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams and President Biden, labeled the bill an updated version of the repressive Jim Crow laws that were implemented by Southern Democrats post-Civil War.
Anyone with even a passing familiarity of the Jim Crow era understood how outrageous the claims were. Those “laws” were put in place to keep black people segregated from whites, to suppress the black vote, and to stifle economic and educational opportunities for black citizens. Black Americans faced criminal charges, jail time, violence, and death as these laws were enforced – and sometimes by lynch mobs – for a period of roughly 100 years.
