Watch a legal scholar tell Ted Cruz that Texas has racist voter ID laws

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas landed himself in an unusual situation on Capitol Hill Wednesday, giving a legal scholar an opportunity to outline how Texas' voter ID law can have racist outcomes.

Franita Tolson, a law professor at the University of Southern California, was asked by Cruz if voter ID laws are racist. She said a blanket statement like that is overly simplistic, but that some requirements for ID can have racist outcomes depending on how the law is written.

Cruz then asked which voter ID laws are racist, and Tolson had a direct response.

"Apologies, Mr. Cruz, your state of Texas, perhaps," she said.

1. Kind of amazing how someone named Rafael doesn't think there is racism in Texas.
