Resolution would make Mississippi a 'Bill of Rights Sanctuary State'. Here's what that means.

JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - The Mississippi Freedom Caucus has submitted a resolution that, if passed, would declare Mississippi a “Bill of Rights Sanctuary State.”

They have submitted this measure because, according to them, the recent election of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris is “disturbing” to many citizens of the state and that they promote ideas that are a threat to the “God-given freedoms our constitutional protects.”

“In recent weeks we have witnessed social media giants and big tech corporations work hand-in-hand with large media outlets and government officials to silence any voice that varies from their preferred political view,” they write.

They now say that our country is at a crossroads where liberty and tyranny meet. “We choose liberty,” they state, “and are asking you to lead the way.”

More at link. "Deeply disturbing" - a "wooooman" as VP! And a Black wooooman at that!
