Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN) on Tuesday said he believes the Supreme Court should have left the issue of interracial marriage up to states — before quickly issuing a statement claiming that he misunderstood the question.
You know he’s lying because his spokecritter’s lips are moving.
Supposedly Indiana had the largest number of klansmen during the rebirth of the KKK in the 1920s. I don’t know if that’s true, but Senator Braun makes me suspect it is.
States rights, always harking back to slave times, like they’d made so much money then they couldn’t get over it. Almost like they’d been on the belly of our country like a fat tick since, waiting to kill us and dragging ever penny of blood along the way.
States rights means California has more senators than Wyoming. If the successful can’t be at an advantage then the few rich shits left over from Reconstruction will continue to hide out in failing states they make fail and allow them access to the Fed money, which is what they think they deserve in the name of Jesus.
Say it ain’t so, MiKKKe!
Not merely a racist but a cowardly racist.
Bravely ran away, away, brave, brave Sir Robin!
Shorter Sen. Braun:
“Whoops… I take that back…
I must have said what I was thinking, instead of thinking about what I should say.”"
“You would be okay with the Supreme Court leaving the issue of interracial marriage to the states?”
What he really meant to say: “No it should not be left up to the states because Blacks and Whites should not be allowed to marry.”
Ah they went there. I mentioned that the ‘freedom of religion’ arguments they were making around same sex marriage were some of the same ones they made against interracial marriage. I must have had a psychic moment.
I think the appropriate term is racist assclown
Overton window on the move again.
No, no…I liked your new word: “approterm” 
Fucking phone!
JFC. Judge Jackson’s is a biracial marriage. I can’t even begin to feel her, and his, outrage at this pos.
I for one am all about the evolution of language, but I assure you it was not my intent. Coupled with the fact someone flagged one of my posts for the first time in my existence here, it’s been a banner day. Maybe I should go for a walk or better yet a drink.
This whole episode does not make me think any less of Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN), than I already did. Regrettably, however, that is a deep, deep, deep subterranean bar, well beneath the surface of the Earth. In other words, typical Republican, with typical Republican values. SAD!
More than anything, Republicans’ love to hate.
That was mighty white of Sen. Braun!
In furtherance of Braun’s sincerely held religious belief that “we’re better off having states manifest their points of view," the Colorado House has passed and the Senate is considering a bill that declares every individual has a fundamental right to use or refuse contraception; every pregnant individual has a fundamental right to continue the pregnancy and give birth or to have an abortion; and a fertilized egg, embryo, or fetus does not have independent or derivative rights under the laws of the state. I’m sure Braun will give his wholehearted support to the bill and praise Colorado for not acceding to the Supreme Court’s presumed overturning of Roe and Casey.
