The Daily Show Draws Blood
They decided to cover voter suppression efforts in North Carolina, and the find a precinct chairman who is an unrepentant racist who admits that the new laws are purely for partisan political advantage.
Perhaps, we should say former precinct chairman.
He got canned the day after the broadcast.
I guess that saying that some of the people who were complaining about the barriers to voting were, "lazy black people that wants the government to give them everything," was not good for his future in politics.
It's arguable that the above quote was not the most offensive thing that he said.
Even better, this happened just before the DoJ suit against the voter suppression laws is to go to trial.
