Yay, but how was lynching not a federal hate crime already? Forgive my ignorance, but how'd we let this go so long?

The short answer, of course, is racism. This was reported to be a bipartisan act, with both Rand Paul and Tim Scott saying they co-sponsored it. If that’s so, good for them. But Biden signed it into law after the efforts of 100 years.

I really don’t trust Scott and it has nothing to do with his race.@bijouxbroussard

@BackyardShaman I don’t trust Scott and it does have to do with his race. I put him in the same category as “Uncle” Clarence Thomas.

Yeah really you’re right, my angle is Lindsey Scott and Tim Graham but you’re right.@bijouxbroussard
