Rutherford Votes Against Asian Anti-hate, 1/6 Capitol Commission

[jaxlongtimer]

John Rutherford is, for sure, a certified full Trump-y.  He voted against both Congress having a 50/50 Republican/Democrat commission to investigate the 1/6/21 Capitol insurrection and was one of only 63 who voted against the Asian Anti-Hate bill.  Continues a string of disappointing votes.

He is a straight line Trump drone - no longer thinks independently or for the interests of the country.  Very disappointing for a formerly so-called "moderate" sheriff who one would expect to stand up for "law and order."

Yeah, voting against an investigation into the 1/6 seditionist insurrection, in which the Capitol police were under direct attack, isn't exactly 'backing the Blue'.

Rutherford has become an embarrassment to the city and to himself. Voting to overthrow the results of the election was sedition as much as the attack on the capitol.

It's almost - almost - like we have a leadership problem in this city.

Ah yes, the old if you don't support my specifc anti-something legislation you are for it rhetoric.  Lovely.

Nice try, but the real problem is the sedition and Trumpist sycophancy. Opposing something as obvious as the anti-hate legislation is just icing on the cake.

Lol... clearly he hates Asians and wants a violent overthrow of the government. What other possible explanation is there...

Yep. He voted to overturn the results of a valid election, something Congress doesn't even have the power to do, based on a proven lie.  Honestly, that stunt was a bigger coup attempt than the actual coup attempt, which happened because Rutherford and his fellow Trumpists promoted this baseless lie. And then of course he votes to oppose a bipartisan commission to look into the coup he encouraged through his words and actions. He disgraced the Constitution and his own increasingly tattered reputation as an LEO.

Yeah, that sums it up pretty well.

DeSatan's legislation makes felons out of innocent citizens found guilty by association. Hate crime bills simply allow additional penalties for certain crimes. Not the same thing at all.

Name calling is unbecoming... even for you.  The governor's legislation allows for additional penalties for certain crimes also.  The exact same thing.
