Sen. Ted Cruz’s withering laughter at Democrats who cry “Jim Crow” over commonsense voter ID laws is exactly the reaction millions of Americans deserve. Democrats are trying to sell fear instead of facts — gaslighting hard-working voters by pretending that showing a government-issued photo ID to cast a ballot is somehow a civil-rights threat when the very same party expects IDs for everything from boarding a plane to buying a beer. The smug theatrics from the left don’t change the reality that election integrity is a prerequisite for democracy.
Cruz didn’t mince words, calling out the double standard and reminding the country who historically drafted Jim Crow laws while pointing out that today’s Democrat leaders are weaponizing that language for political cover. Conservatives across the country see through the performance: demanding ID to vote is ordinary, reasonable, and already required for so many daily transactions. Rather than the overheated rhetoric, voters want assurance that ballots are cast by eligible citizens — not rhetoric meant to protect partisan advantage.
The polls are brutal for the Democrats’ argument: majorities of Americans — including strong support within Democratic constituencies — back photo ID requirements for voting, which makes the left’s moral posturing look like cynical politics. When voters, regardless of race or party, overwhelmingly say they favor sensible safeguards, the question becomes why elites in Washington insist on opposing them. The people’s will shouldn’t be sacrificed on the altar of political expediency.
Meanwhile, House Republicans pushed the SAVE Act through as a common-sense step to require proof of citizenship and a photo ID to cast a ballot, a measure the left is now desperately trying to block in the Senate with histrionics and the filibuster. If Democrats were serious about broadening the franchise they would help streamline access to IDs and fix real problems — instead they shout “Jim Crow” and threaten litigation to preserve power. The choice is clear: defend the rule of law and secure elections, or keep playing games to stay in power.
Americans who love this country should stand with Cruz and other conservatives who call out hypocrisy and demand fairness, not fear mongering. News outlets like Newsmax are rightly highlighting how absurd it is to treat routine identification as racist while Democrats refuse to face the inconvenient truth about public opinion and common sense. This moment is about more than politics — it’s about protecting the integrity of our ballot box so every lawful American voice counts.
