MSNBC Raises Fear of ‘Electoral Genocide’ of S.C. Blacks for Second Day in Row
For the second day in a row, an MSNBC anchor raised a liberal Democrat's claim that South Carolina's new voter ID law would be “electoral genocide” that disenfranchises thousands of black voters in the Palmetto State. Daytime anchor Thomas Roberts made note of the alarmist statement by South Carolina Democratic Party chairman Dick Harpootlian in an interview about the photo ID law in the 11 a.m. Eastern hour with Tulane professor and Nation magazine contributor Melissa Harris-Perry. Neither Roberts nor Harris-Perry objected to the Harpootlian's rhetoric, although in a tweet a short time later Harris-Perry conceded that ” genocide is too strong a term .”
