 The Democratic-controlled U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill on Tuesday to remove statues from the Capitol building which honors those who upheld slavery or backed the Confederacy. It is the second year in a row that the House passed the bill which the then Republican-controlled Senate in 2020 declined to take up. Democrats now have a razor-thin Senate majority which could allow them to force a vote on the measure. The bill would need the support of 10 Republicans to pass. The statues and busts targeted by the remove hate bill include one honoring U.S. from U.S. Chief Justice Roger Tenei who authored a key decision supporting slavery. They also include leaders of the Rebellious Confederacy. The yeas are 285. The nays are 120. The bill is passed. Without objection, a motion to reconsider is laid on the table.
