On Thursday, the measure failed along party lines, at least ten Republican votes were needed to advance.<\/p>\n<p>Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) introduced the bill in response to a mass shooting at a supermarket in Buffalo. It would have created new federal offices to increase focus on domestic terrorism threats in coordination with homeland security, the DOJ and the FBI.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans have been skeptical of the legislation. They believe the bill could lead to the policing of political speech, calling it an updated \u201cpatriot act\u201d to surveil Americans. Democrats have tied the issue to firearms and are pushing for gun control, echoing calls for the measure\u2019s approval following the massacre in Uvalde, Texas. Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) called the bill an insult to every police officer in the country.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>\u201cThis is a filtration of the uniformed services and federal law enforcement,\u201d Paul said. \u201cThis is not just an insult to your local police or to the marines, to the army, to the navy, his is an insult to the FBI, its an insult to the capital police. This bill says that they\u2019ve been infiltrated. This says that our police are consumed with some kind of race rage. It\u2019s untrue, it\u2019s slander, it\u2019s scandalous.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The bill was not expected to pass after it received GOP support in the house. It only gained one Republican vote from Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger. New York Senator Chuck Schumer (D) slammed Republicans in his push to get the bill passed.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>\u201cMany Republicans have made their opposition clear,\u201d stated Schumer. \u201cThere are a lot of MAGA Republicans for whom no amount of gun violence, whether it\u2019s domestic terrorism, a school shooting, a neighborhood shooting or something else, will ever, ever convince them to take any action.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Today, the Senate is voting on the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act to help combat a serious cause of gun violence:<\/p>\n<p>Domestic terrorism and white supremacy<\/p>\n<p>It will give the government the tools to monitor, find, &#038; arrest evil actors before they have a chance to inflict violence<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenSchumer\/status\/1529848914395922432?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 26, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Schumer voiced he will hold bipartisan negotiations in the senate in the coming weeks to try and hammer out a compromise bill.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/beto-orourke-blm-houston-to-attend-protest-outside-nra-conference\/\">Beto O\u2019Rourke, BLM Houston To Attend Protest Outside NRA Conference<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., looks over his notes before speaking to reporters at a news conference following a closed-door policy lunch, at the Capitol in Washington, Tuesday, May 24, 2022.
