The bill, introduced by Sens. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Tim Scott (R-S.C.), makes lynching punishable as a hate crime.
The bill previously passed the Senate in December, but it did not clear the then-GOP controlled House before the end of the 115th Congress. It passed on Thursday by a voice vote.

They should be ashamed of themselves for pandering to this BS non-problem.
Glad to see they moved on to something important the day after they F’d the country but good.
Yep useless Morton’s lynching is out of control.
Passing the most urgent agenda item... .of 1873.
When’s the last time there was a lynching. What if it’s a white guy?? Cuz this law assumes iut’s gonna be a black.
Last lynching was in 1981.
Lynching, wasn’t that something Democrats did to enforce their control over people back in the day?

I think you nailed it.
Out of the many things disturbing about this entire Jussie-Kamala production is the fact that everything to the dems is distilled into "how does this help me get votes?". They've already made the word racism into a catchall to use when someone disagrees with you...
YEAH Congress. Your approval rating must be at least 9%.
What happens when the democrats take control and start lynching us deplorable’s. Will they not be breaking federal law?
I suspect some in the House and Senate are afraid they are going to end up at the end of a rope.
POTUS should veto the bill and name all the fake news hate crimes as the reason why America has had enough of this Leftist bullsht.
Lynching will be applied selectively. More than one Black person kills a white person, not lynching. The very rare instance where more than one white person kills a black pwrson, broadcast wall to wall on MSM as “lynching” regardless of circumstance.
Not sure, but I might disagree. Even though it's a crawl, things are getting a little clearer to a little more people regarding how how all this stuff works. Still a little time left ... I hope.
Fear not and have a great day!
They ought use this to go after the mob that tried to lynch the students at the Lincoln memorial or the mob that tried to lynch Kavanaugh.
The only purpose of this was to dare Republicans to vote no.
The only lynching I’ve seen over the past 30 years has been “high-tech lynchings” of conservatives.
Is there language in the bill to cover this?
what BS.....typical actions from the left...get real
Sadly, Venezuela’s legislature is actually more functional than ours at the moment.
