(WIS) - More than 30 Democratic state lawmakers are sponsoring a bill censuring their Republican colleague Rep. Victor Dabney, R-Kershaw. This is in response to Dabneyâs statements on social media regarding the hate crimes bill that the South Carolina House of Representatives passed Wednesday. In a post on Facebook before the bill passed, which has since been deleted, Dabney said he would not vote for the hate crime bill and said he feels his way of life has been âvilifiedâ by Democrats.
