Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., repeatedly suggested a leading Arab American activist is a Hamas supporter when she testified Tuesday at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on hate crimes, and he told her she should hide her “head in a bag.”

The activist, Maya Berry, said repeatedly that she did not support Hamas and was “disappointed” by the minuteslong exchange toward the end of a hearing called “A Threat to Justice Everywhere: Stemming the Tide of Hate Crimes in America.”

    Again, great.

    First, they have to start following the amendment as written, and we can pass an amendment to outlaw involuntary servitude as punishment for crimes.

    But that’s 1 clause from a ton of amendments they refuse to follow, in fact Mississippi STILL REFUSES to retify the 24th amendment, and has voted to reject it outright.

    Until they sort their shit out, no representative for the fuckers.
