Lawmaker Says Black Lives Matter Doesn’t Value Family

Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-WI), arguing against an expansion of the earned income tax credit in the relief bill, via CBS Milwaukee: “I know the strength that Black Lives Matter had in this last election. I know it’s a group that doesn’t like the old-fashioned family. Disturbed that we have another program here in which we’re increasing the marriage penalty.”

That brought an angry reaction from Delegate Stacey Plaskett (D-VI): “We have been able to keep our families alive for over 400 years. How dare you say that we are not interested in families in the Black community? That is outrageous. That should be stricken down.”
