Reply to comment by No_Lies_Detected in Josh Hawley voting against inter racial and same sex marriages by SearchingBleach

I never said they were good people. They are just voting with their base. They're base does not want same sex marriage and so they voted that way, consequences be damned. They want to be reelected. This is not some situation where I think they are good people.

Their base does want interracial marriage though? You KNOW this for a fact. So it has to just be the gay thing and not the racist thing! Got it!

I mean more than likely, yes. Considering one of the guys who voted against it has an Asian wife, I would say that he is not actually against interracial marriage. If you were trying to make Republicans look racist, would you not include interracial marriage in a bill that you knew they would vote against because of same-sex marriage being included? It's a very clever strategic move.

I should trust you internet stranger! I'm sure you know your way around racism.

And if your argument really held water, then wouldn't ALL Republicans vote against it? Or was it just these special few that really understood that it was just voting against same sex marriage and not the racist part?
