I mean, I hate McConnell, but let's be real here, he's voting against the gay marriage portion of the bill, which is inextricably linked to the interracial portion.

It's like saying someone is pro-murder because they voted against a bill outlawing murder while legalizing rape.

Now granted, both of Mitch's positions are terrible here, but we don't need to give them ammo with lazy statements that are easily disproven like "Mirch is a hypocrite for voting against interracial marriage" when it is more nuanced than that.

Absolutely, the vast majority of senators voting against this bill aren’t opposing interracial marriage, and definitely not publicly. It’s all about the gay marriage part of it. The irony is just amusing
