Earlier this year, President Biden called election integrity laws passed in Georgia “Jim Crow in the 21st Century” before threatening action at the federal level to prevent Georgia from setting its own election laws.

CNN Reported–

“President Joe Biden on Friday called a sweeping elections bill signed into law in Georgia “Jim Crow in the 21st Century” and “an atrocity,” saying the Justice Department is “taking a look” at the measure.

Asked if there was anything the White House could do to protect voting rights in Georgia, Biden told reporters on a tarmac in Delaware, “We’re working on that right now. We don’t know quite exactly what we can do at this point. The Justice Department’s taking a look as well.”
A spokesperson for the Justice Department told CNN earlier Friday that the agency is “aware of the law,” but had no further comment.”

The comments already appear to be blowing up in Biden’s face as Georgia is set to have record-high turnout in the upcoming midterm elections, with large numbers of absentee ballots already being returned.

Biden’s Press Secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, was asked how Georgia could be engaged in voter suppression due to the record-high turnout numbers.

She dithered in response but ultimately stood by Biden’s comments.

When the reporter asked for the White House to provide specific evidence of voter suppression in Georgia, she could not comment on specific elections or ‘the data’ regarding those elections, refusing to provide any specific evidence to bolster Biden’s claims.

She was also asked if the White House had ‘observed’ any instances of voter suppression in the state.  She dodged the question and instead chose to discuss executive orders Biden signed to ‘make voting easier’.

You have to hand it to Pierre, defending Biden’s idiotic statements can’t be an easy job.
