Republican Sens. Ron Johnson and James Lankford on Wednesday introduced an amendment proposing to replace Columbus Day with Juneteenth as a new federal holiday to avoid putting the U.S. “further in debt.”
Johnson, R-Wis., and Lankford, R-Okla., rolled out their proposal as an amendment to bipartisan legislation rolled out by Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, last month that would make Juneteenth a federal holiday.
“In response to a bipartisan effort to give federal workers another day of paid leave by designating Juneteenth a federal holiday, we have offered a counterproposal that does not put us further in debt,” Johnson said Wednesday. “We support celebrating emancipation with a federal holiday, but believe we should eliminate a current holiday in exchange. We chose Columbus Day as a holiday that is lightly celebrated, and least disruptive to Americans’ schedules.”

They think if they do this the anarchist will not harm them! Fools!
So we have would have two explicitly black holidays. At least Juneteenth is during a nice part of the year.
I propose that these guys are cucks.
“why do we bother electing Republicans who completely useless in cases like this.....”
In many localities, and states, demonkraps run middle of the road to slightly conservative campaigns - in today’s environs go far left following the orders of their party gestapo. The GOPe in contrast runs very conservative then 1 minute past midnight the Wednesday after election day, they move left of center.
Three perfumed FOPS!
This is BS.
CX all holidays except for:
New Years Day
Veterans day
Memorial day
Independence day
If anybody gets butthurt because their religious holiday has been excluded they can always use vacation days to celebrate on those occasions.
Just think of how much money the taxpayers will save by having the federal workers working rather than taking all kinds of BS holidays with pay.
I know very few civilians who are off on most of the holidays (may be the big three), but most all of the federal workers, military service members Etc are off, and I think that is a gross misuse of federal tax dollars, I always have.
A four trillion dollar deficit and climbing for the year and now they're worried about putting us further in debt?
Contact them to request that they stop the silliness. I did, while watching Tucker last night.
Co-celebrate them together. What these BLM fools fail to realize is that "juneteenth" only exists because WHITE PEOPLE fought and died for it to happen...they sure as h*** didn't win it for themselves. So by celebrating it, they are really celebrating the accomplishment of WHITE PEOPLE.
OTOH, replacement might be appropriate, as they have repudiated everything MLK stood for.
Yeah, lets just give it all to blm in nov. That will teach em.
Our elected republican senators and representatives are useless to defend and protect us with legislature for law and order and equal justice for all. IT IS UP TO US TO PROTECT OURSELVES, FAMILY AND PROPERTY.
And you are deluded every election cycle that you can vote your way out of this disaster.
These senators are all a bunch of socialists. What ever happen to small government? Slash the budget. Abolish entire agencies. Stop spending money.
They should be tarred and feathered.
These RINOs and they compose the majority of Republican congressmen, are backstabbing traitors.
They also screwed Trump by approving Crazy Elizabeth Warren’s amendment to the defense budget bill changing the names of mitary bases, tossing a hot potato in Trump’s lap!
That amendment NEVER should have been approved and NEVER have bern put on Trump’s desk!
Even TOM COTTON approved Crazy Warren’s
AMENDMENT!!!
BASTARDS
Complete idiots.
Johnson, R-Wis., and Lankford, R-Okla. just a couple to spineless, gutless, GOP douchebags caving to the commie left Antifa and BLM. Very few Gop’ers with guts, all afraid they’d be called racists if they stand up for America. Call their offices let them know how you feel.
WTF! We already have black history month, Lincoln’s birthday because he freed the slaves, and MLK day. What a bunch of BS. These bastards are taking us over just as the progressives and commie left destroyed South Africa and Rhodesia.
