A viral video circulating Thursday shows Larry Kudlow, director of the U.S. National Economic Council, saying “voting rights” “are not our game” in President Donald Trump’s administration. Kudlow commented on CNBC’s Squawk on the Street Thursday morning by criticizing Democrats for the provisions they should include in a pandemic aid bill.
Several versions of the appointment, transcribed on social media, are invariably incorrect; Kudlow’s verbiath after the Law and Crime transcript is: “Many, uh, uh, democrats, uh, ask, are actually left-wing liberal wish lists, because – we don’t – don’t – vote – you know, the right to vote and assistance to foreigners, etc. That is not our game, and the president cannot settle for such agreements.”

The appearance with Jim Cramer began with Kudlow praising Cramer calling him “rich guy” and “American patriot type,” and not Marxist. From there, the verbal exchange shifted to Kudlow’s belief that unemployment figures in the United States were “moving in the right direction” despite pandemic outbreaks in several states. Kudlow said he believed it was obligatory for management to send Dr. Deborah Birx and “CDC members” to states with COVID-19 outbreaks to “proclaim or order or simply lead to masking, estrangement and testing if mandatory and, of course, not your hands and hygiene.”
Cramer then asked Kudlow if the United States wanted a new stimulus. After a detailed answer on the amount borrowed, whether it was mandatory to borrow and sometimes supporting Donald Trump’s administration, Kudlow returned to the central question: “I don’t think you want to say much about it. Array We Acted – President Trump acted hard because we couldn’t come to an agreement with the Democrats, they’re asking for too much money, $3 and a half billion, we’ve already spent more than $3 trillion.”
Then Kudlow criticized Democrats for putting more desires in federal discussions about economic stimulus spending. The result is the complaint about the “liberal left’s wish lists” discussed above. The broadest interview is here:
Kudlow also discussed Trump’s executive order at TikTok elsewhere, saying Trump demands that he be “completely of the Chinese government.”
Although voting rights are not a component of Kudlow’s belief of “gambling” in the Trump administration, those rights are codified in the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which was amended in 1970, 1975, 1982, 1992 and 2006.
The core of the law states that “everyone[s] U.S. citizens who are qualified in a different manner by law to vote in an election. ArrayArray shall have the right and right to vote in all such elections, regardless of race, colour or precondition of servitude».
The law prohibits denying the right to vote by applying anti-law criteria, prohibits the use of literacy tests to deny voting rights, and prohibits the right to vote due to “error or omission in any record or document related to any application, registration or other act required to vote.”
