    Maybe because the "law and order president" didn't say lynching is bad. Cheers!

    No that fascist racist "libertarian" Rand Paul is the holdup! So much for libertarianism! Thank you for your reply Nanoose and Happy Monday! :)

    "We want the bill to be stronger. We think that lynching is an awful thing that should be roundly condemned and should be universally condemned. I don't think it's a good idea to conflate someone who has an altercation where they had minor bruises with lynching," Paul said. 

    "If you're gonna call something an anti-lynching bill but you're gonna have a new conspiracy charge for someone who has minor bruising, we don't think that's appropriate. And someone has to read these bills and make sure they do what they say they're going to do rather than it be just a big PR effort," Paul added.
