Republican Florida Rep. Byron Donalds and four other House Republicans condemned the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) recent lawsuit against Georgia’s election integrity bill in a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland.
“The DOJ is using this bill as ammunition to divide the country and push the false narrative that Republican states are purposefully making it harder for minorities to vote in America,” the Republicans write in the letter, obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller. Fellow Republicans Texas Rep. Lance Gooden, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Florida Reps. Gregory Steube and Bill Posey also signed the letter.
The letter-writers accuse Garland of being “knowingly deceptive” in public representing the lawsuit as intended to “stop racially discriminatory provisions of [the] new law.”
