Mike Lee blocks bills for Latino & Women's museums, says they will divide the US

[BmorePat87]

Mike Lee used Senate rules to block two bills that had bipartisan support for establishing museums for Latino and women's history. Both had passed the house on a voice vote, passed their committees without opposition, and had major Republican backers in the Senate.

Lee claimed that setting up separate museums for groups just helps to further divide the country. He received heavy criticism from both sides over his pathetic display of ignorance.
