Only the democrats – H.R. 1913 Hate crimes bill passes, democrats kill language excluding pedophiles from protection under the bill

Returning war veterans can’t be included in the most recent hate crimes bill that passed the house (H.R. 1913), but apparently pedophiles can can covered! Democrats killed language in the H.R. 1913 hate crimes bill that would have excluded pedophiles from receiving protections. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisc.) objected, saying that King’s amendment was “unnecessary and inflammatory.” More from the American Free Press:

THE HOUSE APPROVED federal hate crimes legislation (H.R. 1913), by a decisive 249- 175 margin. But in a shocking move, Democrats killed language that would have excluded pedophiles from receiving protections afforded in the measure. Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) added the amendment during Judiciary Committee hearings, which stated that sexual orientation in the bill specifically be defined as not including pedophiles.

According to Ted Pike, director of the National Prayer Network, Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisc.) objected, saying that King’s amendment was “unnecessary and inflammatory.” Ms. Baldwin claimed that sexual orientation, as defined by the Hate Crimes Statistics Act of 1990, means consensual heterosexual or homosexual sex. That definition, she claimed, is sufficient to exclude pedophiles, Pike added. Judiciary Chairman John Conyers (Ill.) then quickly cut off debate—before any conservatives on the committee could respond—and called for a vote.

So if Republicans are the party of NO, can it be said that democrats are the party of pedophile rights?
