US Senator Mike Lee proves conclusively he's an irredeemable piece of garbage:
Sen. Mike Lee blocks proposals to establish Latino and women's history museums
Quote:
"The House of Representatives passed this on voice. The Rules Committee passed it on voice in a bipartisan manner. And tonight, one colleague stands in the way," Menendez (D-NJ) said, adding that Lee's move was "outrageous."
Collins (R-Maine) said that "surely in a year where we're celebrating the 100th anniversary of women's suffrage, this is the time, this is the moment to finally pass the legislation unanimously recommended by an independent commission to establish an American Women's History museum in our nation's capital."
"I understand what my colleagues are trying to do and I respect what they're trying to do. ... But the last thing we need is to further divide an already divided nation with an array of segregated, separate-but-equal museums for hyphenated identity groups," Lee said from the Senate floor.
"At this moment in the history of our diverse nation, we need our federal government and the Smithsonian Institution itself to pull us closer together and not further apart."

"Separate-but-equal" ... go fornicate yourself, Mike Lee.
