President Joe Biden slammed a new law in Georgia that changed the state’s election requirements, calling it a “blatant attack on the Constitution” and “nothing but punitive.”

Speaking to reporters outside of the White House on Friday, Biden said the new law is an “atrocity” that is “designed to keep people from voting.”

The law alters how people vote by mail and where they can drop off ballots, among other changes. It also makes it illegal to give water or food to people waiting on line to vote.

“If you want any indication that it has nothing to do with fairness, nothing to do with decency, they passed a law saying you can’t provide water to people standing in line while they’re waiting to vote? You don’t need anything else to know that this is nothing but punitive, designed to keep people from voting,” Biden said as he departed for a weekend at his private home in Wilmington, Delaware.

“Give me a break,” he said when asked about the no-handing-out water provision.

The law has already drawn a legal challenge from a Democratic group.

In a statement issued by the White House moments earlier, the president urged the U.S. Senate to pass two voting rights bills that have drawn strong opposition from Republicans.

“This is Jim Crow in the 21st century. It must end,” Biden said. “We have a moral and constitutional obligation to act. I once again urge Congress to pass the For the People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to make it easier for all eligible Americans access the ballot box and prevent attacks on the sacred right to vote.”
