Today @sendavidperdue visited Tech to campaign for Kemp. A student tried asking a simple question about @BrianKempGA ‘s racist scheme to threaten voter registrations from black people, but before he could even finish the question, Perdue stole his phone. pic.twitter.com/K0iffU57Di — YDSA Georgia Tech (@YDSAGT) October 13, 2018 
  
 U.S. Senator David Perdue (R-GA) ripped a phone out of a constituent’s hand late Saturday morning as the constituent was recording their encounter. 
  
 The Republican senator was being asked a question about Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp‘s widely-reported attempts to purge the voter registrations of thousands of black voters in the Peach State. Kemp is currently running for governor against Democrat Stacey Abrams. 
  
 Perdue was on the Georgia Tech campus on Saturday to campaign for Kemp. A student and member of the Young Democratic Socialists of America (YDSA) began to ask a question about Kemp’s alleged disenfranchisement scheme. 
  
 In an interview with Law&Crime, the student asked not to be named out fear of retaliation and doxxing. The student clarified that he wasn’t particularly worried about retribution from Perdue’s official camp but expressed concern that Perdue’s fellow travelers would “sic the mobs” on him and go after his livelihood. 
  
 “Given what happened in New York City on Friday night, we’re seeing the development of fascism in America,” the student said, in reference to Pro-Trump gangs of “Proud Boys” beating people on the streets while the NYPD apparently did nothing. “The GOP knows they can’t win in debate or civil discourse so they’ll resort to violence and repression of dissidents.” 
  
 As the video begins, the student says, “How can you endorse a candidate that–” but before he finishes his question, Perdue says, “No, I’m not doing that. I’m not doing that.” The senator then appears to make contact with the student and apparently snatches his phone away from him as the phone’s camera films the entire encounter. 
  
 The student calmly notes, “You stole my property. You stole my property. Give me my phone back, senator.” Perdue replies, “Alright, you wanted a picture? You wanted a picture? I’m gonna give it to you. You wanted a picture?” 
  
 The whole ordeal takes roughly 10-12 seconds and the phone is quickly returned to the student, who says “thanks” before announcing: 
  
 That’s U.S. Senator David Perdue. U.S. Senator David Perdue just snatched my phone because he won’t answer a question from one of his constituents. He’s trying to leave. He’s trying to leave because he won’t answer why he’s endorsing a candidate who’s trying to purge people from voting on the basis of their race. 
  
 In a statement, the YDSA branch of Georgia Tech criticized the sitting senator for his actions against the student. They wrote “It’s abhorrent that when our members ask their senators about the purging of voters within their state, they respond by stealing their phones, dismissing dissent, and ultimately prove that curbing of democracy is how they make capital stay in power.” 
  
 Law&Crime reached out to Georgia Tech YDSA for comment on this story. In a statement, the group said they were considering filing criminal charges against Perdue over the incident. The statement notes: 
  
 It’s clear that Perdue suddenly snatched the phone with the intent to temporarily deprive the student of their property so that they could not continue to record him. The video cuts briefly for a few seconds when Perdue accidentally stopped and restarted the recording, during which time Perdue hid the phone behind his back while the student demanded their phone be returned. It is our belief, and the belief of the student, that Perdue committed the Georgia crimes of Theft by taking and Robbery. The student is considering filing a police report with campus police. 
  
 The democratic socialist group also point the apparent incongruity of Perdue campaigning on the Georgia Tech campus and then treating a student in the manner caught on the video. 
  
 “Perdue walked into Georgia Tech’s backyard, and students aren’t allowed to ask him a simple question? It would be one thing to say ‘no comment’ or inform us he’s not taking questions,” the statement notes. “Perdue would have been within his legal rights to simply walk away or decline the question. But instead, he forcibly, suddenly, and violently took their phone without justification or provocation.” 
  
 Law&Crime reached out to Senator Perdue’s office but no response was forthcoming at the time of publication.

David Perdue (R-Ga.) ended abruptly with the lawmaker snatching the student’s cellphone away while he was being asked about possible voter suppression in the state. The senator’s office has said the exchange, part of which was captured on video, was a misunderstanding. 
  
 On Saturday, a student member of the Young Democratic Socialists of America at Georgia Tech approached Perdue, who was visiting the Atlanta campus to campaign for Brian Kemp. 
  
 Kemp, a Republican and Georgia’s secretary of state, is locked in a tight gubernatorial race with Democrat Stacey Abrams, a former state lawmaker. The race attracted additional scrutiny this week after the Associated Press reported that more than 53,000 voter registration applications were in limbo with Kemp’s office; the overwhelming majority of those applications are from African American and other minority voters, according to an AP analysis. 
  
 Abrams has accused Kemp of voter suppression and of using his position to try to swing the gubernatorial race in his favor. Kemp has defended his office by saying it was simply complying with an “exact match” state law that requires election officials to put a registration application on hold if there are even minor discrepancies with existing records (for instance, a typo or an extra hyphen in a name). 
  
 Polls show the race between Kemp and Abrams is a toss-up. 
  
 On Thursday, the controversy escalated when a coalition of civil rights groups sued Kemp over the exact-match law, arguing that it disproportionately and unfairly affects minority voters. 
  
 This is evidently what an unnamed Georgia Tech student had in mind Saturday when he approached Perdue and began asking about Kemp, while recording video on his cellphone. 
  
 “Hey, so, uh, how can you endorse a candidate — ” 
  
 That was as far into the question as the student got. Before he could continue, Perdue snatched the phone out of the student’s hands, as evidence shows in a video.

 “No, I’m not doing that. I’m not doing that,” the senator can be heard saying in the cellphone recording. 
  
 “You stole my property,” the student tells Perdue. “You stole my property.” 
  
 “All right, you wanted a picture?” the senator replies. 
  
 “Give me my phone back, Senator,” the student says. 
  
 “You wanted a picture? I’m going to give it to you,” Perdue continues, ignoring the student’s request. “You wanted a picture?” 
  
 “Give me my phone back, Senator,” the student repeats. 
  
 At this point, the video rights itself again, apparently because the student is reunited with his phone. By then, Perdue is walking away, on a crowded pedestrian pathway. 
  
 “That’s U.S. Senator David Perdue. U.S. Senator David Perdue just snatched my phone because he won’t answer a question from one of his constituents,” the student can be heard saying as he follows Perdue for a short distance. “He’s trying to leave. He’s trying to leave because he won’t answer why he’s endorsing a candidate who’s trying to purge people from voting on the basis of their race.” 
  
 On Sunday, Perdue’s office characterized the exchange as a misunderstanding and said the senator had spent several hours meeting with hundreds of people at a Georgia Tech game over the weekend. 
  
 “The senator spoke with many students and answered questions on a variety of topics,” Perdue spokeswoman Casey Black said in a statement. “In this instance, the senator clearly thought he was being asked to take a picture, and he went to take a selfie as he often does. When he realized they didn’t actually want to take a picture, he gave the phone back.” 
  
 The legal news site Law & Crime first reported on the video Saturday. Calls to Perdue’s Atlanta and Washington offices were not immediately returned Sunday. 
  
 In a statement, the Young Democratic Socialists of America at Georgia Tech said it thinks Perdue accidentally stopped and restarted the recording for a few seconds as he hid the phone behind his back to keep it from the student. 
  
 “Perdue walked into Georgia Tech’s backyard, and students aren’t allowed to ask him a simple question?” the group stated. “It would be one thing to say ‘no comment’ or inform us he’s not taking questions. Perdue would have been within his legal rights to simply walk away or decline the question. But instead, he forcibly, suddenly, and violently took their phone without justification or provocation.” 
  
 “Had the situation today been the other way around, and if the Georgia Tech student had snatched a sitting U.S. senator’s phone, the student would likely have been arrested on the spot,” the group stated. “This behavior is shocking, appalling, and totally unbecoming of the supposedly hallowed office of U.S. senator.” 
  
 The group said the student, who wished to remain unnamed out of fear of retaliation, is considering filing a report with campus police to point out the double standard. The Washington Post spoke with the person who recorded the video and confirmed that he is a student at Georgia Tech.

 Perdue is not running for reelection this year but, with only a few weeks to go until the November midterm elections, has been campaigning for Kemp and other Republicans in Georgia. The senator drew attention this month when he compared those protesting then-Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh to Nazis after protesters cornered him in a Washington airport. 
  
 Abrams on Sunday continued to call for national attention to what she described as a “problematic” state law. 
  
 “We know this is a flawed system that has a disproportionate effect on people of color, but it also has the ability to erode trust in our system,” she said on NBC News’s “Meet the Press.” “I know that Secretary Kemp is well aware of this, and it’s part of a pattern of behavior where he tries to tilt the playing field in his favor or in the favor of his party." 
  
 Abrams added she is confident that the election will be fair because the 53,000 whose registration applications were flagged will still be able to vote — although they will be at the mercy of “subjective” verification by thousands of precinct poll workers across the state. 
  
 “We are creating another set of hurdles for people who simply want to exercise their right to vote,” Abrams told NBC News’s Chuck Todd. “But . . . we have national organizations that are also paying attention [to voter protections], and I think we can make this work.” 
  
 Kemp hit back at Abrams on Sunday, calling her “unapologetically extreme” and retweeting a Daily Caller story that said he was being “Misleadingly Accused of Racist Voter Suppression . . . Again."

As controversy continues to swirl around the Brian Kemp-Stacey Abrams gubernatorial faceoff in Georgia, a senator campaigning for Kemp created one of his own. Kemp, who's currently Georgia's secretary of state, has been accused of trying to purge voter rolls ahead of the November election, and a Georgia Tech student tried to ask GOP Sen. David Perdue about the issue when Perdue visited the campus on Saturday. The student—a member of the Young Democratic Socialists of America who asked Law&Crime not to ID him for fear of retribution from Perdue supporter—recorded a short video on his cellphone in which he started asking the senator about possible voter suppression, at which point it appears Perdue rips the phone out of the student's hands after saying, "No, I'm not doing that." "You stole my property," the student can be heard saying. "Give me my phone back, senator." The senator then apparently hands the phone back and walks away, as the student notes, "US Senator David Perdue just snatched my phone because he won't answer a question, one of his constituents." The YDSA called the senator's actions "abhorrent" and "dismissing [of] dissent," while some on the right poked fun of the student's socialist status, with a write-up on Twitchy noting, "So it's only OK if the government takes someone else's property and not your own? WEIRD!" A Perdue rep, meanwhile, says the whole thing was a "misunderstanding" and that the senator thought the student wanted a selfie, so Perdue took the phone to oblige. "When he realized they didn't actually want to take a picture, he gave the phone back," the rep says, per the Washington Post.
