"The last thing we need is to further divide an already-divided nation." said Senator Mike Lee of Utah upon blocking the creation of two new Smithsonian museums.
The museums in question would be one dedicated to women and another dedicated only to Latinos, and enjoyed broad bipartisan support.
According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, the Senate was attempting to pass them by a political mechanism known as the "voice vote", but Senator Lee dissented, and the vote needed to be unanimous to pass in that way.
There are still ways of passing the bill within the Senate, but most of them would entail bundling it with other bills in order to push it through, which in turn creates further complications.
"Many Americans simply aren’t aware of the vast contributions made by these men and women who have come before us, and one critical way we can right this wrong is by providing a home for their stories in the nation’s capital," commented Texas Senator John Cornyn, a Republican and one of the co-authors of the bill, along with New Jersey Democrat Bob Menendez.

Mike Lee (R-Mumbai) play-acting as a patriot.
Bit late to be worrying about that.
Invented the snugie blanket?
If it does pass it should be on the record.
The purpose of all this crap IS to divide us! The democrat party planned the riots and gave them material support so as to divide us further.
*Fixing my tagline*
Sorry to interrupt.
Please proceed.
Praise God for at least some brave sane people!!!!!!!
I'm afraid I'll have to agree with Senator Lee on this one.
When did he grow a spine?
AMEN!
Mike Lee can kiss my .....
[ Mike Lee is holding out for the Hindu Museum. ]
Mike “H1B” Lee
Is he holding out to get a museum for anti-american H1-B globalists?
For once he did something right.
What about the Polish-American museum?
The Polish will have to get in line behind the French.
After the Hispanic’s, French are next. Polish, then Germans, Irish, & Italians.
Fun Fact Europeans Whites from Spain and Portugal show up on Government Affirmative Action roles, because they are “Hispanic”
Another Reason Affirmative Action is complete crap and should be scrapped.
