SUPER ON BRAND:
Three Republicans vote against bill that makes lynching a federal crime (Emily Singer, February 26, 2020, American independent)
Republican Reps. Louie Gohmert of Texas, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, and Ted Yoho of Florida all voted against the bill -- a piece of legislation that Congress has tried and failed to enact nearly 200 times over the last century, according to the Washington Post. [...]Among the GOP lawmakers who changed their vote at the last minute was Rep. Steve King, the Iowa Republican who has had his committee assignments stripped last year over comments supporting white supremacism.Reps. Paul Gosar of Arizona, Chip Roy of Texas, Andy Biggs of Arizona, and Ralph Norman of South Carolina also first voted against the bill before changing their vote to yea.
