THE FOOLISH 14: REPS WHO VOTED 'NO JUNETEENTH' & THEIR PATHETIC REASONS

[634-5789]

The 14 Republicans to vote against the bill were:Rep. Thomas Massie (Ky.), Rep. Chip Roy (Texas) , Rep. Matt Rosendale (Mont.), Rep. Ronnie Jackson (Texas). Reps. Andy Biggs (Ariz.), Mo Brooks (Ala.), Andrew Clyde (Ga.), Scott DesJarlais (Tenn.), Paul Gosar (Ariz.), Doug LaMalfa (Calif.), Tom McClintock (Calif.), Ralph Norman (S.C.), Mike Rogers (Ala.), and Tom Tiffany (Wis.).


Most Americans support making Juneteenth a national holiday, an idea that gained momentum last year following the country’s widespread Black Lives Matter protests following the police killing of George Floyd. June 19 has long been celebrated by Black Americans as a day marking the end of slavery in 1865.

If signed by Biden, the day will be the first new national holiday since Martin Luther King Jr. Day was established in 1983.
