Religious and civil rights leaders are apparently unhappy that certain people are allowed to vote
Religious, civil rights leaders urge Congress to take actions to combat domestic terrorism
Representatives from religious and civil rights organizations outlined several specific steps at a Senate hearing Tuesday that members of Congress should take to combat domestic terrorism and violent extremism, including passing legislation to expand and protect voting rights.
“Congress must pass the For the People Act,†Wade Henderson, CEO of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, told members of the Senate Homeland Security Committee.
Enacting the sweeping elections and ethics bill is necessary to “push back against the great white supremacist lie that encouraged the Jan. 6 insurrection and has given rise to†several state vote-restriction measures, Henderson said, referring to the false claims promoted by Donald Trump and other Republican officials that he lost the 2020 election due to widespread voter fraud. Democratic lawmakers from across the country are rallying in support of the For the People Act in Washington this week, urging the Senate to pass the legislation before leaving town for summer recess.
These people are Fascists. They have zero problem with all the violence from the BLM/Antifa folks, who literally firebombed federal buildings and destroyed/looted lots and lots of businesses. Instead, they want to pass a law that creates one party rule and destroys the 1st Amendment.
“In the last few years, our nation has witnessed horrific acts of violence, such as the massacres at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh and a shopping center in El Paso that targeted Black, Jewish and Latino Americans,†Democratic Sen. Gary Peters, the committee’s chairman, said in his opening remarks.
Peters said he fears that these deadly attacks, along with more recent acts of violence targeting the Asian American community as well as the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, “are a signal of something worse to come.â€
Almost all the attacks on Asians occurred in cities run by Democrats, and a goodly chunk of them were committed by blacks, not really known for voting Republican.
“If the federal government does not take swift action to address this festering threat, I fear we will see more tragic attacks and lose more lives to domestic violent extremism,†he said.
Yes, you should be disturbed by members of Congress deeming all who oppose the Democrats agenda as domestic terrorists, utterly amping up the rhetoric.
