Republican Montana Rep. Matt Rosendale released a statement on his vote against S.B. 475.

“Let’s call an ace an ace. This is an effort by the Left to create a day out of whole cloth to celebrate identity politics as part of its larger efforts to make Critical Race Theory the reigning ideology of our country. Since I believe in treating everyone equally, regardless of race, and that we should be focused on what unites us rather than our differences, I will vote no,” Rosendale said.

1. No, Matt Rosendale, let's call an ass an ass. And that would be you.

I have to hand it to him, though. He has his GOP-speak down to a tee: "effort by the Left," "identity politics," "Critical Race Theory" "we should be focused on what unites us." And that part about him believing in treating everyone equally regardless of race is as masterful of an example of GOP Orwellian, double-speak, hypocritical, rhetorical sleight-of-hand as I believe I have ever heard.

So ashamed that he is our sole Montana representative.

3. I hear ya. Look at the no votes from shameful Tx 😞

5. I love Texas, especially Austin, but dang! Juneteenth began there!

Apparently, just as in Montana, Texas has elected Republicans still sucking up to Trump's racist base in the hope of getting reelected.
