Indiana's Dopey Senator Said He Against Race-Mixing!
Indiana needs a Braun like it needs a haircut.
The 50 Senators in the Republican conference and the two Democrats in their caucus are white nationalists and enablers of white supremacy.
One dopey Midwest senator opens his mouth and let's out his foghorn.
Sen. Karen Braun (R-IN) believed that Loving v. Virginia was a mistake. That was a landmark decision that ended state laws bans on interracial marriage.
Here’s Senator Mike Braun saying that interracial marriage should be left up to the states. Its the year 2022 and a Republican senator is saying this.

.@SenatorBraun thought it was wrong for the Supreme Court to legalize interracial marriages in Loving v. Virginia. Just like this Nazi (who got 56,000 votes or 26% in the 2018 Illinois Congressional race). Republicans are a danger to liberty.#GOPRacistspic.twitter.com/nrH2XuPHGa
While speaking to the Northwest Indiana Times, Braun on a conference call with Indiana reporters, unambiguously declared his belief that many of the high court's key civil rights decisions of the past 70 years were wrongly decided and an improper usurpation of states' rights.
Braun initially limited his claim to the national right to abortion established by the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision he hopes the current, more conservative, Supreme Court will overturn in coming months when it rules in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.
But, when asked by The Times, Braun admitted there are many Supreme Court decisions he believes improperly established federal rights that would be better handled on a state-by-state basis, including Loving v. Virginia that legalized interracial marriage, and Griswold v. Connecticut (1965) establishing a right to privacy concerning contraceptive use.
"You can list a whole host of issues," Braun said. "When it comes down to whatever they are, I'm going to say they're not going to all make you happy within a given state. But we're better off having states manifest their points of view, rather than homogenizing it across the country as Roe v. Wade did."
When asked about interracial marriage, he rejected the reasoning of a unanimous Supreme Court that the freedom to marry is a fundamental constitutional right and states depriving Americans of it on an arbitrary basis, such as race is unconstitutional.
He acknowledged leaving the question to the states where they can make a decision on whether marriage is recognized in the state. He said it was "the beauty of the system."
Fucking idiot.
I am guessing he's taking aim at Ketanji Brown Jackson's husband. She is Black and her husband is white.
This is common theme among the far-right, hoteps (Black nationalists/Black chauvinists) and white nationalists. The theme is to disrespect Black women for dating outside their race. Chastise them for marrying white men and making light of how Black women are(in the words of "pseudo-racialist Tariq Nasheed) "bed wrenches" for not embracing Black men.
Braun's remarks drew a strong backlash. It was roundly condemned.
Braun walked back the remarks after he took heat. Given that this Midterm election is the focus of Republicans regaining power, these idiots saying the quiet parts out loud is certainly going to bring the focus back to the insurrection and the white nationalism these idiot lawmakers are embracing.
"Le me be clear on [the Loving v. Virginia decision] --- there is no question the Constitution prohibits discrimination of any kind based on race, that is not something that is even up for debate, and I condemn racism in any form, at all levels and by any states, entities or individuals," Braun said.
Republicans are so fucking clueless when it comes to the world. They are so emboldened with this notion to "own the libs" set the bar high for those who aren't white Christian male.
