EXCERPT:

EMMER: “We passed the Save America Act yesterday. It's a very simple bill that Republicans, Democrats, and others in this country all believe is fair. One, when you register to vote, you have to prove citizenship. I'm a citizen of the U.S., only U.S. citizens should be voting in U.S. elections. Two, when you appear to vote, when you appear at your precinct to cast a ballot, you should have a photo ID. And these guys are doing the same old broken record about voter suppression, all this. Really? Why aren't they screaming about photo IDs at the airport? Why aren't they screaming about photo IDs when you check out a book at the library? By the way, if they think it's voter suppression, why do they require photo IDs at the Democrat National Convention to get in?”
