Amid the visceral national outcry for racial justice in the wake of the police killing of George Floyd, a lone US senator is standing in the way of a bill that would make lynching a federal hate crime.
Libertarian are racist in disguised.
I thought lynching was already illegal?
Do some states still have lynching as a form of capital punishment? Outside of a legal execution, it would be taken for granted that lynching (murderer) is a hate crime.
Isn't there a word for that? 🤔
Was it not already a crime? We are waiting...
Remind me again what Obama did to help black people in this country.
Random Paul is trying hard, and succeeding, in being as bad as Kentucky's other senile Senator Moscow Mitch!
RandPaul why?!?!
He's turned into noel edmunds
NEIGHBOR!!!!!
I’m trying to do this thing where I respond to tweets intellectually rather than emotionally, but all I can say to this is WHAT THE F*CK!!!!
Misleading headline of course. Lynching is already a crime (obviously). His issue is with the broad application of the term “lynching,” which according to the bill could be almost anything. But of course the mindless drones in the comments here aren’t interested in nuance.
The article explains Paul wants the bill to be more specific on the definition of lynching - that's all. Once it's done it'll pass. But the Guardian chose a garbage headline to mislead and create the impression Paul and the GOP are against the bill. GutterPress ScumMedia
That beard is so ugly.
More to the story
... a pox on rand paul ...
Nothing surprising! He is serving his master. He knows he or his children will not fall victim of racism, police brutality. Democrats, try and make some comprises to have the bill pass
RandPaul is a federal hate crime.
It’s almost as if murder is already a crime.
It's time for Rand Paul's neighbour to pay Rand Paul another visit.
Lynching isn’t a crime?
Murder is already a crime..he should focus his attention on something more important
Sad man.
There’s a reason why Rand Paul’s neighbor punched him. He’s beyond despicable and also a Russian agent. GOPBetrayedAmerica GOPCorruptionOverCountry VoteBlueToSaveAmerica
This title could've just said, 'Rand Paul is STILL a Racist'.
Unpopular opinion, I think designating hate crimes and domestic terrorist is a bad idea. We already over incarnate and do not rehabilitate. Warehousing humans for longer only supports the prison industrial complex.
What a lovely man
Really? The Southern Avenger Senator? Him? Stall a lynching bill No way!!
Another Trump puppet
Remove him Kentucky..
Good legislation is better than fast legislation. What about his points? Are they legitimate?
Lynching is still ok over there? What could be his rationale? We find some Caucasians fascinating.
China’s newly aggressive diplomacy: ‘wolf warriors’
Maybe he’s racist? Or maybe a Russian agent? Who knows but his contributions or lack thereof to our nation have been abysmal. He does not deserve our tax dollars paying his salary for his do nothing MO
He would.. He loves to stall things.
Of course
