Desperate Dems Deny Their Agenda Three Times

Three of the big issues of the day have the liberal left scrambling to pretend that it's not a group of outside-the-mainstream radicals: defunding police, critical race theory, and voter ID laws.

Voter ID: Then there's the issue of voter ID laws.

Up until just days ago, Democrats were united in decrying voter ID laws as racist attempts to suppress minority voters.

Biden compared a Georgia law that included a voter ID requirement as "Jim Crow in the 21st Century." Back in 2014, when he was vice president, Biden called voter ID laws "An attempt to repress minority voting masquerading as an attempt to end corruption."

Then-Sen. Kamala Harris claimed that voter ID laws "Targeted African-Americans with almost surgical precision."

Stacey Abrams, the would-be Georgia governor, in the past had called voter ID laws "Simply a redux of a failed system that is designed to both scare people out of voting and make it harder for those who are willing to push through, make it harder for them to vote."

Why the sudden turnaround on this issue? Two reasons: Polls show widespread approval of voter ID laws, and the only chance Democrats have of getting their big bill to nationalize elections passed is to get voter-ID-supporting Sen. Joe Manchin on board.
