A resolution denouncing neo-Nazis dies in 36 seconds

It sounds like the kind of legislation that should easily breeze through a statehouse, even in these politically divided times: a resolution denouncing white nationalists and neo-Nazis.

It didn't even make it out of committee in the Tennessee legislature.

The resolution was written by Tennessee Democratic state Rep. John Ray Clemmons. It doesn't name any particular group. It calls on law enforcement to go after white nationalists and Neo-Nazi groups with the same "fervor" as other forms of terrorism.

As Clemmons started to talk about the bill, the sole Democrat on the five-member committee motioned to have it discussed.
No one on the committee spoke up. The committee chair, Republican state Rep. Bill Sanderson, then gaveled the resolution dead. - CNN

This is what we're up against in every election. Conservatives in power.

They just need to feel warm and cozy like anyone else.
