No! It’s time to stop pandering and apologizing for the distant past.

People in those states need to bombard these Senators with emails and phone calls.

Tucker Carlson is right.
You can always count on Republicans to pull this s—t just so the Left won’t scream at them.
Why wasn’t Juneteenth a priority during Obama’s terms?

Let me answer my question:
It’s because it’s imperative the Republicans accept this stupid premise that America is an evil/racist nation.

Lankford is a carpetbagging political whore from Texas.

Forget it. There are 10 federal holidays. Blacks are one eighth of the population so the can have one of the holidays. But that is MLK day so they have all they are entitled to on basis of representation in the population. (Two can play that game...)

These loser Republicans have learned nothing from Trump. They are having a heyday right now because of him but once Trump leaves politics these losers will go back to doing what they do best - losing and being irrelevant.

Is “holiday” the correct word for Juneteenth

It took 2 years for the people of Texas to learn that they were free. Compound this with the fact that actual humans were owned like dogs.

If Planned Parenthood actually held that black lives matter and quit killing so many innocent babies, especially those of African descent, but instead actually helped people to prepare for marriage and parenthood, then they might double their population share.

We MUST replace Bush League Republicans before they give away our country.

Let’s have a Juneteenth holiday, call it Emancipation Day and have it on June Nineteen. Fair enough.

Why, WHY does it have to be at the expense of Columbus Day?

Only an @$$#013 would dignify such an idea.

OK, then let’s make Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur national holidays. I was given those days off by merely requesting them and using my leave time, but that’s just me.

This is why I can’t stand republicans. They didn’t lift a finger or say a word when the mob attacked our statues, our culture and our police. Yet, now, they decide to pander and remove Columbus Day for this new holiday? They open their mouths and speak to this? Are you F’ing kidding me? If it wasn’t for trump, I wouldn’t vote for any of these losers. Why didn’t republicans leadership quash this and put these rinos in their place? Because they are all pandering cowards that don’t stand for us.

These useless Republicans said and did virtually nothing about the terrorists and rioters, but they want to do this? They really don’t care if their base deserts them.
