(AP Photo\/Evan Vucci)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 11:11 AM PT \u2013 Thursday, January 13, 2022<\/h5>\n<p>The White House is defending Joe Biden\u2019s push for voting rights reform amid mounting GOP scrutiny over his recent speech in Georgia. During a briefing Tuesday, Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Biden\u2019s remarks clearly struck a nerve and dismissed claims the address was offensive to those who disagree with him.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cThe majority of the American public elected the president to do hard things and to fight for hard things, including fighting for issues that may feel like an uphill battle,\u201d she stated. \u201cBut they\u2019re vitally important to protecting fundamental rights of the American public.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Schumer and Biden talk a lot about &#8220;voting rights,&#8221; but they never describe what the bill actually does. <\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s because the bill gives taxpayer funding to campaigns, mandates ballot harvesting, and abolishes voter-ID laws. <\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t voting rights. It&#8217;s an election takeover.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Tom Cotton (@TomCottonAR) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TomCottonAR\/status\/1481653251606867973?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 13, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The press secretary also said it\u2019s disappointing Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is arguing against voting rights reform. McConnell took to the podium to highlight a series of bizarre remarks Biden made on Tuesday like when he compared supporters of the voting rights bill to civil rights icons and foes to segregationists. The Kentucky Republican said Biden must stop pushing false hysteria and rage on Americans.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cEvery single major legislative effort that the President has undertaken, that that he\u2019s been a part of, has been subjected to all manner of speculation and criticism about whether it would happen or not,\u201d Psaki continued. \u201cAnd if the President paid attention to that, he probably wouldn\u2019t have run for president to begin with.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The White House official then claimed Biden is not paying attention to critics of his agenda. She also accused Republicans of trying to make it more difficult to vote regarding efforts in many states to pass voter integrity laws.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/speculation-grows-around-abrams-absence-from-biden-ga-speech\/\">Speculation Grows Around Abrams\u2019 Absence From Biden Ga.
