And while I'm at it...

Today, US Republican senator Mike Braun of Indiana said that the Supreme Court was wrong to overturn the ban on interracial marriage in 1967.

Braun specifically said the Supreme Court should have left abortion and interracial marriage to the states. He said it was wrong to legalize interracial marriages nationwide.

And unsurprisingly he says this while evaluating the candidacy of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson who herself is in an interracial marriage. Mind you this is the Republican Party that had two members of the house speak at white nationalist conferences in the last month. A party whose current leader calls nazis “very fine people”.

Race is low-hanging fruit. And the riper and more rotten the fruit, the better for the GOP.

Braun's trying to make the argument that this issue is a state issue versus a federal one. What he's actually promoting is the idea that interracial marriage is wrong.

This is a favorite game of the conservatives - to hide overt racism behind seemingly normal arguments. That way, they can deny they ever said anything outwardly racist.

Whew! Braun failed today. He was transparent about his racism. Disgusting.

@Randi1125 Racism always is. As one man once said in a rare moment of wisdom, "Can't we all just get along?"
