He even hinted that Republicans were domestic \u201cenemies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As one of his examples Tuesday, Biden claimed that a new Georgia law made it \u201cillegal \u2014 think of this! I mean, it\u2019s 2020, and now 22, going into that election \u2014 it makes it illegal to bring your neighbors, fellow voters, food or water, while they wait in line to vote.\u201d He cited the Bible in his righteous outrage, noting that it commanded believers to provide food and drink to the needy.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, as numerous fact-checkers have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/04\/01\/heritage-action-debunks-democrat-myths-about-georgias-election-law\/\">pointed out<\/a>, the Georgia law prevents political groups from providing food and water to voters in line, because it could be considered a form of electioneering, but requires that water be made available to voters from a common receptacle. The Georgia law also requires voting precincts with long lines to take steps to shorten them.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Despite being repeatedly corrected, Biden repeated his false statement about the Georgia election law and says that it makes it illegal to give people water at polling places\u2026<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/RwBiR3R73S\">https:\/\/t.co\/RwBiR3R73S<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jonathan Turley (@JonathanTurley) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JonathanTurley\/status\/1481015036273377284?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 11, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-conversation=\"none\" data-cards=\"hidden\" data-partner=\"tweetdeck\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\u2026The bill allows for \u201cself-service water from an unattended receptacle to an elector waiting in line to vote.\u201d It does not limit any poll workers from supplying water to voters.
