The liberal media isn’t talking about this!
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is once again under fire after using inflammatory language to oppose a Republican-backed election integrity proposal—prompting critics to accuse him of repeating claims that have already been proven false.
This week, Schumer moved to block the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act from being attached to a must-pass spending bill in Congress. The legislation would require states to verify proof of U.S. citizenship when individuals register to vote in person and would direct states to remove non-citizens from voter rolls.
Supporters of the SAVE Act say the proposal is a commonsense step designed to protect election integrity and ensure that only American citizens participate in federal elections.
Schumer, however, strongly opposed the measure, claiming it would lead to widespread discrimination.
Schumer reiterated his opposition Monday, arguing that the SAVE Act mirrors discriminatory policies from the past and has no chance of advancing in the Senate.
His comments quickly drew attention online, with many critics pointing out that Schumer used nearly identical language just a few years ago—only to be contradicted by real election results.
In 2021, Schumer labeled Georgia’s election reform law “Jim Crow 2.0,” joining other prominent Democrats who warned the legislation would suppress minority voters. At the time, President Joe Biden and Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams echoed similar claims, while Major League Baseball moved its All-Star Game out of Atlanta amid public pressure.
But the outcome told a very different story.
Georgia’s 2022 elections produced record voter turnout, including increased participation among Black voters. State officials later confirmed that the law did not suppress voting and, in some cases, expanded access.
Political commentators quickly resurfaced Schumer’s past remarks, arguing that his current criticism of the SAVE Act mirrors claims that were already disproven.
Jason Snead, executive director of the Honest Elections Project, said the pattern has become impossible to ignore.
“When Georgia passed its voting law in 2021, Schumer called it ‘Jim Crow,’” Snead said. “The state then saw explosive turnout in 2022.”
Snead also cited a University of Georgia post-election survey that found zero percent of Black respondents reported having a negative voting experience.
“Now Schumer is repeating the same talking points to attack the SAVE Act,” Snead added. “There’s no credible reason to oppose a law that ensures only U.S. citizens vote—something supported by more than 80 percent of Americans.”
Supporters of the legislation argue that voter ID and citizenship verification laws are widely popular, particularly among older voters who prioritize election fairness, transparency, and public trust.
As the Senate debate continues, Schumer’s past warnings—and the facts that followed—are resurfacing, raising new questions about whether his latest claims will meet the same fate.
