Sen. Josh Hawley just cut through the noise and said what millions of Americans have suspected for years: Democrats are fighting proof of citizenship because they want non-citizens voting.In an exclusive interview with The Gateway Pundit, the Missouri Republican delivered a no-holds-barred takedown of the left’s opposition to the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act.“So that non-citizens can vote. I mean, I think there is no doubt about that. So that they can cheat at the elections,” Hawley said. “They want people to be able to come in across the border, illegally, to get a state voter ID, and then to use that in federal elections.“It’s already illegal in federal elections to vote if you’re not a citizen, which is why I say to Democrats, ‘Listen, if it’s already illegal and you guys say that you don’t want non-citizens voting, then let’s have an ID.’ My state has an ID — I think it’s 37 states that have voter IDs written into our state constitutions or in our state law.“I mean, you just can’t explain to me why we wouldn’t have a federal voter ID. It’s overwhelmingly popular and we’ve been doing it in Missouri… The Democrats are like, ‘It’s not workable.’ It is workable. We’ve done it for years in Missouri — it’s working.”WATCH:Under the Biden administration, U.S. Customs and Border Protection recorded more than 10.9 million nationwide encounters with migrants, including over 8.8 million at the southwest border.The SAVE America Act, which has passed the House multiple times, would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship, such as a passport or birth certificate, to register to vote in federal elections. Democrats have fiercely opposed the bill, repeatedly comparing strict voter ID requirements to Jim Crow-era suppression— an argument many view as patronizing and bigoted because it implies minorities are incapable of obtaining basic identification.The battle has become even more urgent as President Trump demands that any reauthorization of FISA — the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act — must include the SAVE America Act.Section 702 of FISA is the controversial program that allows warrantless surveillance of foreign terrorists and spies overseas. It lapsed last Friday after Congress failed to pass an extension.Trump has made clear he will not support a “clean” FISA renewal without the voter integrity protections in the SAVE Act attached.The bill remains stalled in the Senate, where it faces a Democratic filibuster despite strong public support and President Trump’s repeated demands to attach it to must-pass legislation.Hawley, elected to the Senate in 2018, has been one of the strongest voices in Congress for election security. He was the first senator to announce he would object to certifying the 2020 Electoral College results. The Missouri Republican was relentlessly attacked by the corporate media and branded an “insurrectionist” by the left after he pumped his fist in solidarity with Trump supporters marching on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, to protest what millions of Americans still believe was a fraudulent Biden victory.In that 2020 contest, Joe Biden received a record 81.28 million votes—the most votes ever cast for any presidential candidate in U.S. history—surpassing Barack Obama’s previous record of 69.5 million votes in 2008 and easily topping Donald Trump’s 62.98 million votes in 2016.The Gateway Pundit has extensively reported on the irregularities, unprecedented mail-in voting expansions, and suspicious late-night ballot dumps that fueled deep skepticism about that election.Hawley’s message is crystal clear: If Democrats truly don’t want non-citizens voting, they should have zero problem requiring proof of citizenship. Their hysterical opposition tells you everything you need to know.The post ‘They Want Non-Citizens to Vote SO THEY CAN CHEAT’: Hawley Torches Dems Over SAVE America Act appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
