Reps. Cedric Richmond and Matt Gaetz got heated on Wednesday during a House Judiciary Committee debate on a police reform bill.
Richmond objected to Republican attempts to add amendments calling for investigations into anti-fascist activists, known as “antifa.” “To my colleagues, especially the ones that keep introducing amendments that are a tangent and a distraction from what we’re talking about, you all are white males,” he said. “You never lived in my shoes.” Gaetz eventually interrupted.
“Are you suggesting that you’re certain that none of us have non-white children?” he asked. “You reflected on your Black son, and you said none of us could understand.” “Matt, Matt, stop,” Richmond said. “I’m not about to get sidetracked about the color of our children.”“It is not about the color of your kids. It’s about Black males, Black people in the streets that are getting killed, and if one of them happens to be your kid, I’m concerned about him, too ― and clearly, I’m more concerned about him than you are.”“You’re claiming you have more concern for my family than I do?” Gaetz, who is unmarried, shot back.
... and if whites have Black kids, grand kids this is even more the reason to reform police. Maybe deep inside these Whites who have Blacks in their families are harboring covert anger , shame and don't care if they are killed by police.
Fix the hed.
Gaetz doesn't even have kids. lol

Effort to rename Selma's Pettus Bridge after Rep. John Lewis picks up key supportAn effort to rename the Edmund Pettus Bridge, the site of 1965's 'Bloody Sunday' clash between Alabama state troopers and civil rights activists, after Rep. John Lewis is gaining support. Edmund Pettus was a Confederate general and KKK leader. Change it! repjohnlewis is a national treasure 💙🇺🇸 YES YES PLEASE PLEASE ! Well, Edmund Pettus was a Democrat & served as the chairman of the state delegation to the DNC. I guess it’s fair to name it after another Dem. Considering Rep. Lewis’ contribution to Civil Rights and the events of Bloody Sunday, I’d say it’s more fitting. Rep. Lewis is from AL.
