Mentioning lynching is emotional manipulation. Falsely claiming that lynching is not a federal crime, you’re saying that commiing homicide by hanging is not a federal crime, but commiting homicide by shooting is a federal crime.
Reps. Louie Gohmert of Texas, Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Ted Yoho of Florida and the chamber’s lone independent, Justin Amash of Michigan, voted against it.

I agree that it should be a federal crime, but massey doesn’t. That’s my problem with politicians, they always have skeletons in their closets.
Can you share Massey’s comments or statement on it to read or watch for mysef?
Wait i’m wrong, i searched his name up and got thomas massie. He’s a US republican and you were talking about the aussie politician 🤦♂️ Sorry lol
I guess I spelled it wring. I was talking abiut Massie, not Massey, about commenta on hanging people, or what you called lynching.
