Mitch McConnell Votes Against Interracial Marriage Despite Asian Wife

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell voted against legislation that would protect interracial marriages on Wednesday, despite the fact that he's married to an Asian American woman.

McConnell, who is white, is the husband of former U.S. Secretary for Transportation Elaine Chao, the first woman of Asian heritage to be appointed to a presidential cabinet.

The Kentucky Republican was one of 37 GOP senators who opposed a motion to advance on the Respect for Marriage Act (RFMA), but the procedural vote succeeded with a bipartisan majority of 62, with one senator not voting.

The Senate is divided, with 50 Democrats and 50 Republicans, but the vote means that formal debate could take place on the legislation, while the Senate could pass the bill as early as Thursday.

The RFMA passed the House of Representatives in a bipartisan vote in July.

Many social-media users criticized McConnell following the vote and pointed to his relationship with Chao, whom he married in 1993.

I can't believe this is even a topic in 2022.

How many right wingers are against interracial marriage?
Was McConnell voting against Interracial Marriage or same sex marriage? Read the goddamn bill.
 
It should, what would you do if you couldn't be with a white man anymore.
fight against the demklan, like we did before

as much as you all want to make it an issue, it won’t be…we beat your demaklan ass before and we will again.

First of all who is we? Democrats are not the ones voting against the issue that affect black folks, that would be your beloved Republiklans. This isn't 1950 or 1955, those Dixiecrats became Republiklans.
 
so? geez!

people gonna be racist…get govt out of rhe racist business…but demklan don’t want to do that
If it wasn't for the Gov't fool, we would still be riding at the back of the bus. Jim Crow would still be the Law of the land. Maybe those are the days you and fools like Coondace Owens want to go back to.

The bill has nothing to do with interracial marriage.

It’s yet another attack on marriage by promoting Fag marriages and would punish churches that refuse Fag marriages.
 
Just a couple of months ago, right-wingers were telling us that nobody would ever move to ban same-sex marriage...


Now look at them, on this very post saying "No, bro, we were just trying to make sure same sex marriage wasn't protected"


Must suck to ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS lie about your true positions.
