7:29Now PlayingThree Republican Representatives, Andrew Clyde of Georgia, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, and Chip Roy of Texas, voted against a bill that would deem lynching a federal hate crime. These Reps. were the only three to vote against the bill, citing a push for a ‘woke’ agenda and the violation of freedom of speech for their dissenting votes. Ana Kasparian and John Iadarola discuss on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 68 pm ET.

"The House of Representatives on Monday night passed The Emmett Till Antilynching Act, which would make lynching a federal hate crime. The bill received unanimous support save for three Republicans. Reps. Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.), Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), and Chip Roy (R-Texas) opposed the bill.
In explaining his “no” vote, Massie wrote in a Twitter thread that designating enhanced penalties “for ‘hate’ tends to endanger other liberties such as freedom of speech.” He also argued that lynching is illegal in all states already.
Roy issued a statement Tuesday explaining his decision. “Lynching is an unspeakably heinous crime,” he said. “But this bill doesn’t have anything to do with lynching, other than its name.” He called the bill “an effort to advance a woke agenda under the guise of correcting racial injustice” and said it is a “matter for the states.”
A representative for Clyde did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Rolling Stone."
