00:00On voting rights, yesterday Donald Trump escalated his attacks on the bedrock of
00:06American democracy. Without a shred of authority, Donald Trump issued an
00:11executive order that will effectively coerce states to institute
00:17policies that will prevent millions of American citizens from voting. Let us be
00:22very clear, this is an assault on democracy. Donald Trump's order has
00:29nothing, nothing to do with election security. It is an illegal power grab.
00:35We all support safe and transparent and secure elections, but what Donald
00:41Trump is doing is making it harder for citizens to vote. He is fanning the
00:46flames of an election denialism, nothing new to him, claiming without any
00:51evidence, without any evidence, that elections are rigged and the system is
00:58broken. Every single election authority says this is false, but we all know that
01:05if Donald Trump is anything, he's an election denier. He hates the idea of
01:09free and fair elections. This is another dark and twisted example of Donald
01:14Trump's lawless campaign to recreate America into his personal kingdom.
01:20I am confident the courts will look at this power grab and quickly deem it
01:25unconstitutional.
