Broun: ‘Illegal aliens’ shouldn’t vote
Rep. Paul Broun (R-Ga.) doesn’t think Democrats stand a chance at winning in Georgia — unless illegal aliens get to vote in the state.
The controversial Senate candidate dismissed the theory that the state’s changing demographics, with fast-growing populations of minority and higher-educated voters, might make Georgia competitive in the future.
{mosads}”The only way Georgia is going to change is if we have all these illegal aliens in here in Georgia, [and] give them the right to vote. It would be morally wrong, it would be illegal to do so, under our current law,” Broun said on a local radio show.
“Actually, all these illegal aliens are getting federal largesse and taking taxpayers’ dollars. That’s the only way this state is going to become Democratic again, in the next number of decades.”
National Republicans have been worried for months that if Broun gets the GOP Senate nomination he could jeopardize the seat for their party.
But Broun fired back, arguing that only a centrist conservative could fumble away the seat and seemingly taking aim at fellow Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.), who is also running for the seat.
