Desperate Republicans in Georgia, having recently lost two Senate seats and the presidency to Democrats, just passed a blatantly discriminatory law<\/a><\/strong> whose unambiguous purpose is to suppress votes. The law will impact predominantly people of color, the poor, workers, and students.<\/p>\n

\"Fox<\/p>\n

This is a backdoor admission that the GOP can’t appeal to the concerns of voters with their policies, so they resort to obstructing citizens from exercising their Constitutional right to vote. And naturally, Fox News is supporting this abhorrent electoral tactic. On Thursday morning the “Curvy Couch”<\/em> potatoes of Fox and Friends addressed the subject, focusing on a bizarre provision in the law that prohibits anyone from offering food or water to voters waiting in line to cast their ballots.<\/p>\n

For the record, it is Republicans who created the mess that has resulted in voters having wait for many hours to vote. The GOP made it more difficult to vote by mail. They closed precincts, but only in districts that tended to vote Democratic. The precincts that remained open were provided fewer staffers and voting machines. The results were predictable delays intended to discourage people from voting at all. This new legislation is intended to make matters even worse.<\/p>\n

In light of that, Fox News saw fit to mock the problem that obviously isn’t affecting any of them or their privileged class. It’s an exercise in brazen callousness and elitism:<\/p>\n

Ainsley Earhardt:<\/strong> The water argument is what cracks me up. Because what line have you stood in – If you go to Yankee Stadium and stand in line to get a ticket, do they serve you water? Do you care?
\nBrian Kilmeade:<\/strong> Just hot towels. That all you get.
\nSteve Doocy:<\/strong> I have been voting for over forty years and I have never thought to myself, “Okay, I have to go vote today. Will they have snacks?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fox & Friends mocks concerns about GA banning non-poll workers from giving voters water: "If you go to Yankee Stadium and stand in line to get a ticket, do they serve you water?
