Anti-lynching bill to pass???

Post by gounion »

Must be campaign season:
Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, who held up popular bipartisan anti-lynching legislation in the Senate last Congress, announced Tuesday that he now supports and has signed on as a co-sponsor of a new version of the bill.
The updated version of the legislation -- known as the Emmett Till Antilynching Act of 2022 -- was introduced in the Senate this week by Democratic Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey. The Senate bill is identical to companion legislation introduced by Democratic Rep. Bobby Rush of Illinois that the House passed on Monday.
Since the House has already passed the measure, once the Senate takes up and passes the bill, it will be sent to President Joe Biden to be signed into law. Paul's support for the new version of the bill will likely pave the way for its passage in the Senate. Senate Democratic leadership hopes to pass the legislation soon by unanimous consent, but the timing is still uncertain.

The Emmett Till Antilynching Act of 2022 would designate lynching as a federal hate crime under existing statues and is co-sponsored by Paul and the Senate's three Black senators Booker; Tim Scott, Republican of South Carolina; and Raphael Warnock, Democrat of Georgia.

The legislation is named in honor of 14-year-old Emmett Till, who was brutally murdered in a racist attack in Mississippi in 1955, an event that drew national attention to the atrocities and violence that African Americans faced in the United States and became a civil rights rallying cry.
Wow, conservatives have held this up for more than a century. I think this vote will actually HURT the GOP with their base. I bet they'll be held over the coals during the primaries on it.

But justice prevails after a century. As a famous man once said "Welcome to the party, pal!"

Considering MAGA was going to lynch Pence, this makes sense to get bipartisan support.
I sigh in your general direction.

The right really does love their lynchings. I mean, how young do they teach their kids to make nooses?

Be sure to let your relatives know.

Lynching is just another aspect of white conservative domestic terrorism, justified by your ideas that we’re all a bunch of criminals, anyway.

Your many-faceted opposition to anti-lynching legislation has a very long, very ugly history.

It’s based in white supremacism, and so is your denialism and indifference.

Glennfs trots out Tim Scott as one of a small handful of acceptable negroes, on at least a monthly basis.

I trust Glennfs will inform him that the related 2018 bill he cosponsored with Kamala Harris and Cory Booker, author of this bill, that it’s just a pr nothingburger.

Lynching is a tool of segregationism, and as has already been mentioned, a tool of the same confederates who tried to overturn a national election.

So go write your congressman, Glennfs. Show us the letter after you’ve sent it.

As usual, you didn't read the link in the OP or you would have learned the bill makes lynching a federal hate crime.
When you vote left, you vote right.

Nobody in his family has been lynched so the whole topic is meaningless to him.

“The Senate voted by unanimous consent on Monday to pass anti-lynching legislation that would designate lynching as a federal hate crime for the first time in U.S. history,” Axios reports.

Which means the entire GOP can pretend they were in the bathroom when it passed.

Give it another hundred years or so. The Glenns of the country will be pointing at this and screaming at Black people that this is the best place in the world for them because after all, look how nice the white conservatives were to you in 2022, you African American sjw ingrates.

The right tries to say we don't need it, but when GOP elected officials are speaking before White Nationalists again, and nooses are put up outside the Capitol of the United States, it's time to make lynching a Federal Crime.

This little baby is 25, now. :( I hope they were able to escape this destructive white-conservative environment.

Changing the subject via whattabouttery.

But they shoot each other tho! But they call each other niggers and I can't this is very unfairrrrr!

That's all they've got, short of simply admitting they want a police state for us and libburdy and freedumb for themselves and the cops to kill at will. They are not honest enough for that. Not on this forum, anyway.
