Hank Johnson: GOP Rep ‘Endorsed’ Lynching Because Trump Opened the Floodgates

Pam Key 19 Mar 2021

Representative Hank Johnson (D-GA) said Friday on MSNBC’s “Live” that Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) “endorsed” lynching during his remarks at an anti-Asian discrimination hearing Thursday on Capitol Hill because former President Donald Trump opened the floodgates making it “okay to speak like that.”

While saying the families of those killed in the Atlanta-area spa shootings deserve justice, Roy said, “There are old sayings in Texas about find all the rope in Texas and get a tall oak tree. We take justice very seriously, and we ought to do that.”

Johnson said, “Yesterday’s hearing has been 30 years in the making. It had been set a couple of weeks ago. It just coincidentally happened to occur just two days after this mass murder against AAPIs. To have this hearing at an opportunity to show solidarity and compassion for the AAPI community, Chip Roy, my colleague, could not help himself but to express those old racists, xenophobic ideas about the Chicoms, and anything else you want to call them is I think, what he said. He even went back to the old-fashioned institution of lynching and sanctioned it in this country.”

Did opening the floodgates cause Guam to tip over, Hank?

Hank stepped out into the daylight to show he is a deep stater.  Plenty of those to go around. Pay attention Georgia.

I take it that Hank Johnson has never heard of Leonidas Dyer.  The Republican representative introduced the first anti-lynching bill in Congress in 1918.  The Democrat majority defeated it.  In 1921, Republicans took control of the House.  The following year, with overwhelming Republican support, the House passed Dyer's Anti-lynching Bill, with four future Democrat House Speakers voting against it.  But in the Senate, Democrats successfully blocked it with a filibuster.  In the following Congresses, Democrats were again able to prevent the bill's passage.

In the 1930s, the Democrats would again defeat anti-lynching legislation.  Even FDR refused to support it.  Hank Johnson is an idiot.

I'll need to read that later.

What an incredibly STUPID thing to say, regardless of what he 'meant'. Roy and retarded Hank are two peas in a pod. They would make good playmates.

Democrats have been lynchin people because of the color of their skin for a LONG TIME!  It's no longer acceptable to lynch minorities, so democrats moved onto lynching whitey.  Keep up on the latest news, and the weird part is many whites support the democrats so they can accomplish their own lynchins.  What attention sluts won't go along with, eh?

We all know facts don't matter anymore, least of all to the terminally stupid, like Hank Johnson.
