(CNSNews.com) – Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) is accusing the Congressional Black Caucus of discriminating against him because he’s a Republican and denying him membership.
During an interview Thursday with CNN’s “New Day with John Berman and Brianna Keilar,” host Keilar read a statement from the CBC about their decision:
The Congressional Black Caucus remains committed to fighting for issues that support Black communities, including the police accountability bill, protecting voting rights and a jobs bill that helps our communities. We will work with those who share our values and priorities for the constituents that we serve.
Democratic Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut said legislation requiring background checks for commercial gun sales probably won’t get enough Republican support in the Senate after a senior GOP senator who is a close ally of the gun lobby exited bipartisan talks for a consensus bill.
