52 U.S. Senators blocked voting rights legislation. Some of them tweeted on #MLKDay, while resolutely opposing legislation to prevent states from suppressing the votes of Black, Brown & rural communities. These Senators invoke a martyr, while castigating his legacy & teachings.
@BerniceKing @MawResister They could have voted to pass The Freedom to Vote and John Lewis Voting Rights Act. They freely decided to vote “no”. Why???
@BerniceKing And these same senators talk and gloat about King. Including religious leaders.
@BerniceKing Most ppl dont even know what is in the bill businessinsider.com/freedom-to-vot…
@BerniceKing @Renee08868963 So sad & disgusting that we even have to go through this after all this time. Your dad & many others fought for these rights & they cannot take us backwards.
