So which religion is he referring to? It seems this country has a large variety of religions that people worship. Are all of these religions against same sex and interracial marriage? 🤔

Or get this - and it may be a stretch for me to consider this. Hawley is an evangelical Christian and he is pushing those values on to everyone - even those that do not worship in the same manner he does.

Is that even a possibility?!?! /s

I should trust you internet stranger! I'm sure you know your way around racism.

And if your argument really held water, then wouldn't ALL Republicans vote against it? Or was it just these special few that really understood that it was just voting against same sex marriage and not the racist part?

I mean more than likely, yes. Considering one of the guys who voted against it has an Asian wife, I would say that he is not actually against interracial marriage. If you were trying to make Republicans look racist, would you not include interracial marriage in a bill that you knew they would vote against because of same-sex marriage being included? It's a very clever strategic move.

I mean, I hate McConnell, but let's be real here, he's voting against the gay marriage portion of the bill, which is inextricably linked to the interracial portion.

It's like saying someone is pro-murder because they voted against a bill outlawing murder while legalizing rape.

Now granted, both of Mitch's positions are terrible here, but we don't need to give them ammo with lazy statements that are easily disproven like "Mirch is a hypocrite for voting against interracial marriage" when it is more nuanced than that.
