"Schumer used the same line to describe Georgia laws that indisputably expanded voter access back in 2022," commentator and writer AG Hamilton posted on X. "It’s incredibly offensive and unserious to pretend that every voting law equates to a renewal of Jim Crow."
Many Democrats, from Schumer, to President Joe Biden, to failed Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, warned that the Georgia voter integrity law would be "Jim Crow 2.0" and Major League Baseball even pulled its All-Star Game from Atlanta in 2021 amid public pressure.

Snead continued, "Now, Schumer is smearing the SAVE Act the same way because he has no legitimate excuse for opposing a law that makes sure only American citizens are voting—which more than 80% of Americans support. Schumer’s smears were false then, and they are false now.
"Schumer and the Democrats keep trying to rig the rules of our elections by pushing failed, California-style election laws that invite chaos and fraud. That’s not what Americans want."
Fox News Digital reached out to Schumer's office for comment.
