Sen. Booker also stood up to Paul in a passionate speech on the floor. “I’m so raw today,” Booker said. “Of all days we are doing this. Of all days we are doing this right now.”
He continued, “I do not need my colleague, the senator from Kentucky, to tell me about one more lynching in this country. I have stood in the museum in Montgomery, Alabama, and watched African American families weeping at the stories of pregnant women lynched in this country and their babies ripped out of them while this body did nothing.”
Booker concluded, “I object to this amendment. I object, I object. I object on substance, I object on the law, and for my heart and spirit and every fiber of my being, I object for my ancestors.” Although nearly 200 anti-lynching bills were introduced into Congress before 1950, when lynching was at its peak, Congress has not yet made lynching a federal crime. With his actions today, Paul made himself the sole obstacle preventing history from being made.
amazing speeches!
They’ve both endorsed the author of the ‘94 crime bill. If you plan on voting for Biden just say All Lives Matter and stop pretending to care about the black community. These two sure don’t.
I never realized an execution had parameters.
Can someone explain how the bill was blocked, if he’s the only one who opposed it? (Genuinely asking)
