This comes acrossed your desk and you can't see the really story here? Are these people so out of it?
The Senate offers up a resolution opposing the racist lynchings of African Americans. Because some of the senators are afraid of the political ramifications with some constituents (read: racist morons), the Senate delays the vote to the evening when no record of the vote or roll call is required. All the major networks want to cover is that the Senate is offering an apology for not previously passing legislation. Incredible.
So far it's been confirmed that there are around 80 co-sponsors of the bill leaving 20 senators who will not sign an anti-lynching resolution.
This is the list of the Pro-Lynching 20. Will they be allowed to hide in the shadows?
