What hypocrisy the Florida Republican-dominated House has shown by passing the “anti-riot” bill.
As some GOP lawmakers refuse to condemn the violent and destructive mob of mostly white men and women at the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol, they proceed to design a Ron DeSantis-backed bill to block people of color and their supporters from peacefully gathering and carrying out their right to dissent.
As these Republicans pretend to be what they are not, they show us more about who they really are. They keep moving their party deeper into lily-white territory. With these increased efforts at minority suppression, the country moves further away from the principles upon which it was built.
