Trump and Mike Johnson will introduce a bill to prevent noncitizens from voting even though it is already illegal for noncitizens to vote.

Punchbowl News reported, “Johnson is scheduled to appear with Trump at Mar-a-Lago to introduce a bill that would make it illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal elections. Of course, it’s  been illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal elections, and there’s no evidence it happens, despite Trump’s claims otherwise. And a Trump-Johnson proposal like this will never pass the Senate.”

CNN added:

We’vWe’verd there are going to talk about two things. One thing is that they are expected to re-litigate the 2020 election, which isn’isn’tt surprising since both of them tried to overturn that election. Johnson was actually key behind the scenes, trying to get these congressional signatures on a lawsuit and Texas that would have tried to overturn the election, but the other big thing that they seem to be talking about is this idea of noncitizens voting. There’s a conversation about whether they’they’reg to present some kind of bill, but we know that they’re going to draw attention to this issue. Now, I want to be very clear. There is currently a federal ban on noncitizens voting in federal elections. So that is a non-issue.

Donald Trump and Mike Johnson will be holding a pointless event to once again claim that the 2020 election was stolen, and to propose a law that already exists.

Trump and Johnson will be attacking the trust that the American people have in the election process while humiliating themselves with a proposal that is nothing more than a pretense to push a conspiracy theory.

Here is hoping that cable news puts democracy first and doesn’t fall for Trump’s anti-democracy con.
