Wes Lowery: 14th Amendment Would Prohibit DeSantis from Ending Birthright Citizenship
‘It’s a play to that anxiety and that frustration we see among white Americans about the change in the country’
EXCERPT:
LOWERY: “We’ve got a presidential candidate, the current governor of Florida, who yesterday said he would get rid of birthright citizenship, which, first of all, he couldn’t even do as president, but second of all, would be the undoing of a constitutional amendment that was put in place to remedy the Dred Scott decision that had concluded that black Americans were subhuman, right? And were not worthy of citizenship, right? Why is that what they’re campaigning on? Why is that what they’re talking about? It’s because it’s a play to that anxiety and that frustration we see among white Americans about the change in the country. It’s the way Gen Z would describe it, this is about vibes. It’s not even about particulars.”
