H.R. 1913: What do "Worst Person" Foxx and Rep. Dean Heller have in common?

View the original

H.R. 1913 passed the House of Representatives today on a 249-175 vote. The “Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act” was supported by Representatives Titus (D-NV3) and Berkley (D-NV1); Congressman Dean Heller (R-NV2) voted no, [roll call 223] in concert with Congresswoman Foxx, who earned the Olbermann 'Worst Person' award for her inaccurate and insensitive commentary on the House floor.

The bill authorizes the Attorney General of the United States to provide “technical, forensic, prosecutorial, or other assistance in the criminal investigation or prosecution of any crime that constitutes a crime of violence under federal law or a felony under state, local, or tribal law; and is motivated by prejudice based on the actual or perceived race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability of the victim.
