Blitzer asked Brooks if it was a threat.
No threat at all, Brooks clarified. It is, in fact, a promise and prediction. We have seen in the course of this last election unrelenting voter suppression. We have seen our rights denied as Americans, particularly seniors, African-Americans, Latinos, and younger people. And so, if the president insists upon conducting an investigation into voter fraud, as a pretext for voter suppression, the NAACP along with millions of Americans of every hue and heritage will resist. We will push back. We have, in the course of this campaign, in terms of 10 months and no less than ten court victories against voter suppression.
