Law professor tells Cruz Texas' voter ID law is racist in fiery hearing exchange

Washington A law professor told GOP Sen. Ted Cruz on Wednesday that Texas' voter ID law is racist in a tense exchange during a Senate hearing on voting rights.

Cruz had asked Franita Tolson, the vice dean for faculty and academic affairs and a law professor at the University of Southern California, if she found voter ID laws racist. After Tolson responded that it"depends," Cruz asked specifically,"What voter ID laws are racist?""Apologies Mr. Cruz, your state of Texas, perhaps," Tolson responded.

So she didn't give a proper answer. Just said this is racist, didn't say why

You need an ID for everything! Get a grip!

Then, a bank teller, a policy officer, and any security agent, is a racist for requesting a photo ID when a citizen deals with any of them!

You've been silent on this:

RepublicansAreTheProblem

Like the Greatest Generation’ UNITY inspire AMERICANS to overcome 2GETHER we do, 2 as imperfect people with imperfect leadership with imperfect plans… UNITED by God who has love for humanity as we EVANGELICALS LEAD in worship, prayers, and SUPPORT for the Biden Administration 🇺🇸

Truth hurts

Lol no

Cruz roasted the complete crap out of her and the other witnesses who spoke after

I do not support voter restriction, but some form of photo ID is not unreasonable. What is unreasonable is severely reducing the number of polling places so people not only have to travel a long way but then wait for hours to vote. This only happens in 'blue ' areas.

Acosta Anyone who says that Voter ID is racist, is in fact, a racist.

Acosta Even Kamala called him a racist!!!! Do your research people!!!!!!

Oopsie!

Acosta Racist? Because people of color are to stupid to obtain ID Basically that’s what the Democrats are saying! They stood for slavery, and the still want to control people of color! For god sake people!!!! Do your research on Joe Biden’s Racist comments of the past!!!!!

Of course she did not specify anything. She’s all about the bigotry of low expectations.

She's a professor? No wonder we are screwed.

In Canada, if you don't have ID, you don't vote.

Sure why not... everything else is racist specially if your white..

Everything is fkn racist nowadays

Why do you guys keep giving him press coverage? Did you not learn from the Trump Devil?

Fled Cruz wish he was being a good dad again and wishing he was somewhere else

We want voterID laws

ChrisiDoo222 '...do you know where That Is?'

Acosta Kudos to Professor Tolson and the others who backed her. So today Cruz is a proud Texan instead of a toasty warm hombre. Es un gran idiota.

Texas is going back to the 50's where keeping minorities in their place was being patriotic .This REDNECK state needs to vote these QOP/GOP out of office !

With zero evidence….just empty words

Have to show covid vaccine proof ID to see a movie in New York but showing an ID to vote is racist? 😆

Typical liberal response… can’t substantiate or give on reason

Acosta Notice how Cruz employs two tactics often used at Fox News: 1) Interrupt the speaker when the answers don't go your way. 2) cut her off as she continue to embarrass him by laying out facts.

He didn't like that at all! Then the other to supported her statement! His ass was embarrassed!

But it's not racist to require ID for booze, cigarettes' or to drive a car?

Rafael Cruz is an insurrectionist.

What a pathetic excuse for a Senator. When the going gets tough, the weak and scrote licks of Trump head to Cancun CancunCruz. TedCruz, a proven loser. DonaldTrump insults his wife and this cuckold right out of Oliver, please sir, can I have some more. CruzFailedTexas

ID should be law in every state to vote. Unless you are not who you are saying you are.

So in other words, she couldn't answer the question

Whichever laws he supports more than likely are racist

And she’d be wrong.

He is a little stupid no ? 😂😂🤣
