Mitch McConnell—who is in an interracial marriage—just voted no on codifying interracial marriage.

If this is what MAGA GOP thinks about their own spouses, imagine what they think of Black & brown people unrelated to them.

After losing the Senate last week because they are wholly out of touch with the American people, 37 Republican Senators just voted to criminalize interracial marriage.

It's 2022 and interracial marriage is a bridge too far for MAGA GOP.🤦🏽‍♂️

Keep voting them all out.

THIS is excellent framing.

White male wealth privilege is thousands of Black & brown people are in jail for smoking pot but the twice impeached insurrectionist and nuclear secret thief gets to announce his third presidential run unhindered.

Two Americas.
