John Kennedy Calls Out Dems for Their Racism Against Clarence Thomas in a Way Only He Can

  Townhall  "On Thursday, the Senate Judiciary Committee did their markup on "ethics" legislation that is targeting the U.S. Supreme Court, all while hit pieces have come out against the conservative justices, especially Justice Clarence Thomas. Republicans have vowed to block it from passing. While the Supreme Court Code of Conduct Act did only pass out of Committee with votes from all Democrats, Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) got an amendment in there that condemned racism against Thomas." 

"The amendment passed unanimously, which might be somewhat surprising, given that Democrats themselves are the ones who have gone after Thomas with such vitriol, as has been brought up at previous hearings. They also took some time in getting there with their support. As is the case whenever Kennedy makes a point, his remarks about the amendment are one for the ages. 

"Kennedy needed to dumb it down for Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) who needed clarification that the amendment would only refer to Thomas, as she insisted in bringing up "we condemn racism against any justice." 

"I don't understand the reluctance to accept the fact that Justice Clarence Thomas, who happens to be a black man, has been the butt of a lot of racist statements. And I don't understand reluctance to condemn those. And that's what my amendment does," Kennedy pointed out, as he went on to make clear "I don't want it watered down, I don't want to bubble wrap it, I don't want to sugar coat it, I want to say, big as Dallas, the United States Senate condemns all these racist things that have been said against Justice Clarence Thomas.". . .

U.S. women’s soccer national anthem reaction has enraged fans calling for it to have its ‘Bud Light’ moment

"The U.S. women’s soccer team got its World Cup action going Friday with a 3-0 win over Vietnam.

"It was an impressive opening win for the two-time defending world champs, and there were many fans in the country happy to see them get the quest for a third straight title going so smoothly. But much of the discussion since has not been focused on the impressive performance, but what took place prior to the start of the game. That’s because during the playing of the national anthem, many of the U.S. women simply stared ahead as “The Star Spangled Banner” was played.

"Five players stood with their hands over their hearts, and three sang along with the song. "The rest mostly kept their hands behind their back."

"The list of players who remained silent included Megan Rapinoe, who told Yahoo Sports ahead of the 2019 World Cup that she would probably never sing the national anthem again."
