Rep. Jones (D-N.Y.): ‘On the Senate Floor White Nationalists Used the Jim Crow Filibuster to Block Voting Rights Legislation’

‘We are living through the worst assault on the right to vote since the Jim Crow era’

TRANSCRIPT:

JONES: "As you just heard, we are living through the worst assault on the right to vote since the Jim Crow era. And yesterday, on the Senate floor, white nationalists used the Jim Crow filibuster to block voting rights legislation. But they did not win the contest for the soul of our nation. I rise to affirm that we, the people, aren’t giving up that easy. We never give up."
