After Republicans tried to push past Rep. Clay Higgins’ racist comments and send members home to campaign, the Congressional Black Caucus is not dropping the issue.
“Several members have had to increase their security,” CBC Chair Steven Horsford told NOTUS over the weekend. “Staff have had to take additional precautions in their districts and D.C. offices. There are members and staff that represent very diverse backgrounds who have to go to work every day and deal with this crap.”
Rep. Gabe Amo called the current working environment for Black lawmakers “unfortunate.”
