Their bill leaves a big loophole for having no action against renegade police.
Senator Lindsey Graham angrily lectured us about what the Obama Administration didn’t do on the issue of police reform during his eight years in office without a word that mentioned all the times the Republicans, as they promised—tried to make him fail.
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell actually said that Senator Scott, to their surprise, told them he had been stopped by the police!
