Senator John Fetterman was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo to discuss the SAVE Act, which, if passed, would require voters to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections.
“Are you gonna vote to fund DHS?” Bartiromo asked.
“I’ve always been, you know, just secure our border, deport all the criminals,” Fetterman said.
“I hope it doesn’t shut down cause we could all agree to focus on those things, and that’s where I’m gonna be and where my vote is gonna be,” Fetterman said.
“That’s going to impact TSA, people’s travel, certainly under the Department of Homeland Security. It’s gonna impact FEMA,” Bartiromo commented.
“What I don’t understand, Senator, is why it is so difficult to get the SAVE Act into the portfolio and onto the floor. What’s wrong with having an ID to vote?” Bartiromo said.
“Chuck Schumer last week said if the SAVE Act even attempts to get to the Senate, it is dead on arrival. Why?” Bartiromo asked.
“I’m going to see a lot of TSA people, and they are not gonna get paid. Now I can’t have an answer for them other than it’s just basic politics right now. I think every American deserves to be paid for the work that they have done,” Fetterman said.
“I’ve been a Democrat that refused to shut our government down last year. I mean, that’s real lives, and they are not wealthy if they are TSA folks. They are allowing us to fly safe here in America,” Fetterman continued.
Senator Fetterman stated that showing ID is a reasonable standard to be able to vote in federal elections.
“As a Democrat, I do not believe that it’s unreasonable to show ID just to vote,” Fetterman continued.
“Less than a year ago in Wisconsin, you know, they added that to the Constitution by a 63 percent, you know, passing,” Fetterman said of the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
“It’s not a radical idea for regular Americans to show your ID to vote, and it’s absolutely those things are not Jim Crow or anything,” Fetterman continued.
“I don’t ever want to vote to shut our government down again,” Fetterman said.
“You are very much where the people are,” Bartiromo commented.
