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?

Let's get real. McConnell and the GOP were against this law because it would impose gay marriage across the country, not because they were concerned with interracial marriages, which aren't even an issue at this point. Good move on the Democrats to craft the law to not only protect Obergefell but Loving as well.
 
Clearly this is something the country supports as a whole, hardly not just the "left".

Clearly you conveniently forgot gay marriage was on the ballot as a question in most states. I’m got shut down in every single one including California. Then the leftists threw their usual hissy fit and circumvented the will of the people and went through the ninth circus to get it to the Supreme Court.

No it wasn't and we have further accepted it since the time it was a few times.

And now a law is getting passed.
 
so let me get this straight
THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT wants to regulate who we fuck?
that makes sense since they've been fucking us for 200 years

That’s not even what the legislation was about. Dishonesty on a thread starter is not persuasive.

Actually Same-sex Civil Marriage was approved by referendum in Maine, Maryland, and Washington on November 6, 2012.
