His comments about his racist opposition to interracial marriage are unforgivable.
Congress needs to censure his racist ass.
He CANNOT continue to "serve".

(49,000 posts)Of course they had no problem defending racism. That's not the point or the contention otherwise.
The point is to continually getting them on the record, publicized. Many people don't understand what racism is in forms that are less than blatant. Many people are not aware that people we know to be racist are indeed racist.
The more discussion about race the better.
Racists want to hide racism.
Anti-racists want to expose racists. Again and again. Over and over. Do you not want to continually expose racists?

(Im using the older term deliberately). Texas segregationist practices were not only aimed at Afro-Americans but also Mexican-Americans. Im not entirely sure, but I think those laws against interracial marriage were also aimed at Mexican-American folks with white partners, Asian-Americans with white partners Native Americans seeking white partners. Let DeSantis, Rubio, and Abbott sweat it.
