RELEASE: Under Scrutiny for Voter Suppression, Brian Kemp Implies Puerto Ricans Aren’t Americans

  • July 3, 2019

Comments Follow Congressional Requests for Documents About Voter Suppression

ATLANTA – Today, Fair Fight CEO Lauren Groh-Wargo responded to Brian Kemp’s comments that implied a false belief that Puerto Rico is not part of the United States.

“Given his long record of suppressing voters of color, it’s no surprise that Brian Kemp seems unaware that Puerto Rico is part of the United States. There are 100,000 Puerto Ricans living in Georgia. They are every bit as American as any of us, and – while Brian Kemp might not like it – Georgians from Puerto Rico have the right to vote.”

Kemp made his comments in response to Congressional requests for documents pertaining to voter suppression in the 2018 election.
