GOP Lawmaker Describes ‘Easy’ Vote Against Juneteenth

June 18, 2021 · 2:54 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) explained his vote against making Juneteenth a national holiday on Fox Radio.

Said Norman: “How many holidays do we want? What’s the magic number. This would put it to 11. Do we want 20? Are we going to do one for the Native American Indians? I mean where does it stop? This was such an easy no vote.”
