Black congressmen riled by Bush ignorance of Voting Rights Act

By John Byrne | RAW STORY Editor

President Bush told the congressional black caucus he “didn’t know anything about” renewal of the seminal 1965 Voting Rights Act last Wednesday, RAW STORY has learned.

According to several of the 43-member strong Democratic caucus, Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. (D-Ill.) asked the president whether he supported extending the Voting Rights Act when it comes up for renewal in 2007.

“He said he didn’t know nothing about it, and he’ll deal with the legislation that comes before him,” Rep. Jackson told RAW STORY.

A Chicago Tribune columnist who wrote about the event yesterday said that another congressman told him Bush’s response was “mind boggling.”
