EXCERPT:
SCARBOROUGH: “So, Mara Gay, what do you — what do you say to the — to the Republican candidates argument that this should be — the voters should have the say and not the courts?”
GAY: “Why are you standing with confederates who betrayed this country? And this is what they’re standing with, is the spirit of those confederates rather than the Americans who came together after a long and brutal civil war that was fought to keep the union together and saw clearly saw a threat in ex-confederates running for office, so much so that they amended the Constitution to prevent those traitors from running for office. That should send a message that our election system, our electoral system, can be used for nefarious purposes against the democracy itself. It’s clear — it’s clear as day.”
