Meet The 6 Republican Senators Who Voted To Enable Hate Crimes Against Asian-Americans

[634-5789]

The six Republicans who voted NO on beginning debate over Mazie Hirono's Asian American hate crimes bill:

Cotton
Cruz
Hawley
Marshall
Paul
Tuberville

The six Republican Senators were voting to enable hate crimes against Asian-Americans. It is telling that at least three of the six Senatore who tried to block debate are likely Republican presidential candidates. Sens. Paul, Hawley, and Cruz are all rumored to be weighing 2024 presidential campaigns.

Apparently, they believe that the path to the 2024 Republican nomination runs through enabling hate crimes against Asian-Americans. The motion to proceed to debate passed 92-6, but the votes of those six Republicans speak volumes about the cynicism of potential Republican candidates and the degree to which the GOP is out of step with the rest of America on issues like hate crimes against Asian-Americans.

2. Well...

... those names look awfully familiar. Very smart of them... if they want Republicans to consider them for the 2024 nomination, they need to show they can hate.

3. Aren't Asian Americans already covered under the existing hate crime laws?

Is that not the case?

and calling them "rice burners". But I thought those times had passed.
