During a Senate GOP press conference, Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) did not hold back in rebuking Democrats' opposition to the SAVE America Act, saying they are the only group of people in America that are opposed to it.
"I have been up here for seven years. This is probably the most bipartisan thing I have ever seen," Sen. Scott said. "If you go around the country, I do not care if you are a Republican, a Democrat, an Independent, you want this."
However, despite noting that the bill is "bipartisan," Scott expressed that the only ones opposed to it are "the Democrats in the Senate and the Democrats in the House."
According to the Florida senator, Democrats oppose the bill because "they want fraud. They want to allow illegal aliens to vote. That is the only answer."
Scott pointed out that Americans show identification all the time for mundane reasons, such as verifying credit cards, boarding an airplane, or buying a lottery ticket in Florida. Thus, "it is not like it is the end of the world to show it."
He rebuked Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who called the bill "Jim Crow 2.0" and noted that the Democratic Party has historically supported those laws. Scott clarified that "there is nothing racist about this. Everybody I know has ID."
Democrats have vehemently opposed the SAVE America Act by arguing that it prevents married women from voting.
Scott responded to the claim by commenting, "I am married to a married woman. I have two daughters that are married, and I think that they can figure out how to get whatever ID they want, how to vote, all of those things. They do not need anybody telling them what to do, they can figure this out."
"So any Democrat that says that any women cannot figure this out, they are stupid."
Scott concluded his remarks by highlighting three ways that the bill can pass the Senate.
"The best way is for Democrats to come to their senses and say, 'you are right. We have got to get this done,'" he expressed.
The second is to add it to the "must-pass bill," and the third is via the talking filibuster.
"This is important. Trump secured our border. He needs us to secure our elections. The American public wants us to secure our elections," he urged.
