Texas Sen. Cruz opposes hate crimes bill, says it won't 'prevent or punish actual crimes'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Sen. Ted Cruz was one of six senators who voted against efforts Thursday to consider toughening laws regarding COVID-19 related hate crimes, saying the plan “is not designed to do anything to prevent or punish actual crimes.”

The COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act would create a Justice Department position solely to review hate crimes related to the coronavirus pandemic, establish an online hate crime reporting system and issue guidance on the best practices to prevent racially discriminatory language when describing the pandemic.

The bill defines a “COVID-19 hate crime” as violence motivated by the attacker’s real or perceived notion that their victim’s identity relates to the spread of COVID-19.

Cruz, a Texas Republican, said he doesn’t believe the bill will serve its intended purpose.
