Friendly reminder that he is one of 4 to vote AGAINST the anti lynching bill today. His vote echoes the belief that lynching shouldn’t be a hate crime. Lynching was a gross and discriminatory human rights violation— and most definetley perpetuated by hatred.

Massie on voting against anti-lynching bill: "This bill expands current federal 'hate crime' laws. A crime is a crime, and all victims deserve equal justice. Adding enhanced penalties for 'hate' tends to endanger other liberties such as freedom of speech." courier-journal.com/story/news/pol

Here we have Representative who fails to understand and stand with the victims of this senseless violence. We need the proper sanctions for hate crimes, not because the risk freedom of speech, but because the risk freedom of LIFE!
