Chip Roy Votes Against Anti-lynching Bill. Shocking.
The U. S. House of Representatives has voted on bills to make lynching a federal hate crime over 200 times in the last 122 years. Today, for the only the second time, they’ve passed one. The first was passed in 2020, but didn’t pass the Senate.
The Emmett Till Antilynching Act passed almost unanimously. 422-3 was the final vote, with only three Republican senators – all white men from the south – voting nay.
Of course, one of the racist nincompoops calls himself a Texan. Chip Roy, former Chief of Staff to Senator Ted Cruz, stayed “true to form” and made sure that southern white men could have as many loopholes as possible to get away with any murder of a black person. By rope. Anywhere in the country.
In fact, Roy has been very clear that he is pro-lynching. “There’s old sayings in Texas about ‘find all the rope in Texas and get a tall oak tree,’” Roy said. “You know, we take justice very seriously, and we ought to do that. Round up the bad guys. That’s what we believe.” He isn’t wrong. There are over 600 documented lynchings in Texas history, and those are just the ones we know about.
Please take some time to visit Lynching In Texas. Then, send the link to Chip Roy at chip.roy@mail.house.gov, reminding him he’s making $174,000 a year and needs to stop playing stupid games because Texas does not need any more stupid prizes. We’re full.
Roy, as a Texas lawmaker, knows that vigilante justice is against the law. Unless it’s done by a white person? I guess? Yay for vigilantes!
But wait! When a black man in Minneapolis was convicted of arson during a protest about the injustice of George Floyd’s death, Roy was really upset that the man wasn’t given the maximum sentence. Some people are saying that the man was just out seeking justice. Still, Roy objected. “This is a man that clearly has no respect for our laws,” he said. Well, now I’m confused. Does he care for justice or not?
As usual, Roy is full of bullpoop. Roy is a disgusting white supremacist and, as we say here at the salon, full of gleeful cruelty and dickishness.
The bill will advance to the Senate, where Republicans will once again do whatever they can to kill it.
Today marks 0 days that Texas Republicans have not made a fool of themselves.
The man who supports lynching wants other people to respect our laws. Okay Rep. Roy, you first.

Is there an actual sign somewhere that posts that info? Because if monitoring the fools and updating the count is a paid position I’ll apply. I’m in Hawaii but don’t see that’s a problem, doubt the number will ever get higher than 0. I’ll just cash my checks.
2I really feel sorry for the intelligent people forced to live in texastan.
3I can live there OK, if I was st00pid enough to go, as I can pass as a rePUKEian WASP. But for those that can’t hide their self, please leave before they find you.
He’s in a safe district that covers all those retired folks in the Hill Country. They are all still living in 1922, not 2022, and probably think it’s just fine to hang people.
4If he would like to tour the lynching memorial in Montgomery, Al, I will be more than happy to pay his admission!
5It’s going to be small comfort to Texas, but Chip is not alone. The other two who have no problem with lynching are Thomas Massie, who gives his kids guns for Christmas, and Andrew Clyde, best known for helping barricade the House chamber against those ordinary citizens who wanted to engage him in political discussion on January 6.
A grown man called Chip?

7How do these people keep getting elected? Why is there no protest by Texans against right wing nut jobs like this? There should be a great protest.
