President Trump congratulated Georgia on their new election law that was just signed by Governor Kemp.
Georgia’s new election law will require residents in the state of Georgia who are voting from absentee ballots to provide a state-issued I.D.
The new law also makes it a misdemeanor to hand out gifts, food, or any other items to voters waiting in poll lines.
Biden claimed the new Georgia law is the new “Jim Crow” for the 21st Century.
Trump on the other hand was quoted saying “Congratulations to Georgia and the Georgia State Legislature on changing their voter Rules and Regulations”.

Fox News got the full scoop and released these details:
President Biden blasted Georgia’s newly-passed voting legislation as an “un-American law to deny people the right to vote.”
“This is Jim Crow in the 21st Century. It must end,” Biden said in a written statement.
The bill swiftly made its way through the Georgia legislature and was signed by Gov. Brian Kemp Thursday.
Meanwhile, former President Trump congratulated Georgia on passing its sweeping election reform Friday.
“Congratulations to Georgia and the Georgia State Legislature on changing their voter Rules and Regulations. They learned from the travesty of the 2020 Presidential Election, which can never be allowed to happen again. Too bad these changes could not have been done sooner!” the former president said in a statement.
Kemp denied the “Jim Crow” accusation. “There is nothing ‘Jim Crow’ about requiring a photo or state-issued ID to vote by absentee ballot – every Georgia voter must already do so when voting in person,” the governor said. “It is obvious neither President Biden nor his handlers have read SB 202.”
Here’s Trump’s full statement:
The Daily Mail covered the story too:
Georgia was again the focus of presidential politics Friday as President Joe Biden blasted a new election law there as an ‘atrocity’ – and former President Donald Trump congratulated the state for changes Democrats are calling an illegal crackdown.
‘Congratulations to Georgia and the Georgia State Legislature on changing their voter Rules and Regulations,’ Trump said in a statement through his Save America PAC.
‘They learned from the travesty of the 2020 Presidential Election, which can never be allowed to happen again. Too bad these changes could not have been done sooner!’ Trump wrote from Mar-a-Lago, where he was pictured golfing Friday.
The state of Georgia is trying to prevent voter fraud from happening again but Biden automatically calls the new voting law racist.
It seems like almost everything is racist in the eyes of Democrats nowadays.
