The updated list of GOP Senators who still refuse to cosponsor the lynching resolution



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Senator Landrieu, who sponsored the resolution, has a list of the cosponsors AND "supporters" up on her site. Interestingly, and confusingly, she lists other Senators who "support" the legislation, but still refuse to cosponsor. That's a bit odd, and strikes me as some CYA that Landrieu is doing for the pro-lynching crowd. These Senators currently have the choice to add their names retroactively to the list of cosponsors and they're not doing it. And I'd like to know why. Because it's creepy as hell, particularly since they're all Republicans. Walks like someone pandering to racists, quacks like someone pandering to racists...

You'll note that Crapo (R-ID) has now cosponsored, but we discovered that Gordon Smith (R-OR) is NOT a cosponsor.

Alexander (R-TN)
Bennett (R-UT)
Cochran (R-MS)
Cornyn (R-TX)
