In emotional speeches, Senators Kamala Harris and Cory Booker urge the Senate to pass a bill making lynching a federal crime. Sen. Rand Paul is standing in the way of its passage. https://abcn.ws/30gf7Mm

GOOD MORNING AMERICA’S HOMEPAGE:

You’re absolutely right, Harris. There is no reason for this. No reason at all for this political grandstanding and fake outrage over something that hasn’t occurred in this country in decades. When the left’s demand for racism exceeds the supply…
There will be no Harris Administration!
It is ridiculous that we even have to create a law to stop this type of selective murder! Rand is not papa Ron–what an embarrassment to dad–the son will never be a man like dad!!!
I am looking forward to her getting arrested for being a part of the Smollett hoax!! It isn't like we see lynching around town. You are a liar!!
Yes we STAND ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS… OUR ANCESTORS M.O.M.S
O Israel I'm Ruthie I'm saddened by the killers who want to wipe out the Tribe of Judah Israelites and children of Israel my brothers and sisters in the name of Christ Yahshua forgive me and show your mercy and Grace to all of the Lost Tribes who were and are in mental, physical, financial spirit weakness. Wonderful loving provider Father YAHWEH I pray and ask of your only mercy tonight. In our great teacher your Son Yahshua Amen
Maybe I've read it wrong but looking at the Anti-Lynch law one can get 5 years and $5,000.00 charge for historical racist, brutal, barbaric acts of murder. Robert Fuller protestor.
Inverted politicians always making everything about their opinions….. wow I had no idea lynching goes unpunished….
Perhaps we should evaluate why Lincoln said "liberty for all" but didnt consider the Natives they all just massacred…..
Bill's mean nothing… why… because the problem isnt a lack of them…
Lynching is already a crime. The language of the bill is questionable. The timing of the very dramatic kamala Harris and corny Cory Booker presenting the bill is opportunistic theater. Keep in mind they originally drafted the bill following the Jussie Smollett charade. Get out of your feelings people and put your thinking caps on
I thought lynching was already a crime. Wtf. This is another political word salad that no one can understand or unscramble
Is that all they have to do?
Look at those two How much George Sorro paying you for all lies you are spreading what you going to do next November when president will win again???
Kamilla Harris loves Drama!!!
How about the pain you inflicted as a prosecutor.
You are FAKE!!!
Where’s your heavy black accent!
Passed by the Senate Dec. 19 2018 S.317 115th Congress? so what's Booker talking about?
Rand Paul is sick like the rest of those repugnant republithugs
Maybe people would take you two more seriously if you hadn't been the instigators of the "lynching" of Jussie. Why don't you just confess you did it and be truthful for once in your pathetic career.
I'm so glad to see this clip. Cory Booker was inspiring & passionate & that is what the country needs. SHAME ON THE SENATE. Vote to remove those Republican senators who are completely uncooperative for change.
I'm pretty sure that lynching falls under the federal crime of murder and physical injuries under the federal and misdemeanor crime of assault, which makes this legislation completely usless.
Wait so does he want lynching to be a thing or her?
Your acting like the government still uses this anything for your 3 secs of fame i guess
This should of been done in the 1940s. Yall look stupid in the 2020
Didn’t Jussie Smollet get scratched? I wondered why this bill was introduced at that time.
What about the hinting for horse these cattle thieves in rustlers and so on
Cory the creampuff! Getting tough.
Isn't it fair to ask Harris and Booker to simply address his objection directly, that this bill contains one piece that will irresponsibly expand the definition of lynching and result in over punishment of all races? I can't tell if that's the case or not. Let me be clear: I'm not saying I side with Paul. I'm saying I'd like to hear Harris and Booker address the question. As long as they fail to do so in a specific manner, I'm stuck not knowing which side I should stand with.
This is the most bullshit symbolic pointless bill
Asking from UK. Who is actually in favour of lynching? Unbelievable!
Huzzah!
I want that lynching law to pass. This law will protect the American people from the communist mob.
These 2 are pandering for the 2020 election.
Remember, the motivation for the Jusse Smollett hate crime involved Kamala Harris and Corey Booker? Right before Jusse staged the fake hate crime, he was on the phone with them discussing their new Anti-Lynching Bill. Coincidence? I think not…
While you're at it, please present a bill to make poisoning, chainsaw killings, throwing people into wood chippers and death by a thousand cuts illegal. Please. How can we have a civilization without banning these very specific types of killings?
This is a good person! I feel his words….
Next is the Reparations Checks 💵
Is she referring to lynching like hanging?
This is ridiculous. Firstly, shooting a person is NOT lynching them. Secondly, why do we need this? Murder is illegal and in some states they don't get 10yrs they get the death penalty. So why? Purely political. Listen to booker… he's all choked up near tears… being all melodramatic. It's all fake!!!
