In a short, focused Homeroom with smooth podcast episode titled “The GOP is racist,” the host highlights a resolution tied to the National Federation of Republican Assemblies urging states, including Georgia's Republican primary process, to restrict 2024 presidential ballots to candidates meeting a strict “natural born citizen” standard defined as being born on U.S. soil to parents who were U.S. citizens at the time of birth. The host argues this interpretation echoes Dred Scott–era logic and could trigger a chain effect that disenfranchises many Americans, especially people of color, and targets candidates such as Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Kamala Harris (whom the host notes was born in Oakland and is a U.S. citizen). He warns the Supreme Court may enable such efforts and urges viewers to apply public pressure and become active in local and state politics to hold officials accountable.
