Tonight the Senate passed my anti-lynching legislation, taking a necessary and long-overdue step toward a more unified and just America. After working on this issue for years, I am glad to have partnered with colleagues on both sides of the aisle to finally get this done.

Because lynching is a huge issue right now…. ? Not mass incarceration or police racial bias?

Get up front on this lynching! His name is Jayland Walker. 8 Akron Ohio cops fired 90 bullets at him, hitting him 60 times throughout hie entire body. The cops pulled him over for a TRAFFIC VIOLATION. He was 25. He was a @doordash driver. HE WAS UNARMED. HE WAS MURDERED.

Does this lunching bill applies to only white people because if it does it’s racist

Murder is already illegal and lynching would be considered a hate crime so....
