Racist Senate Testimony Sparks Outrage: Man Claims Gun Laws Are Anti-White
During a Michigan Senate hearing, Avi Rachlin, representing the alt-right group “Groypers for America,” falsely claimed proposed firearm legislation targeted white people and used a racial slur when referencing Black residents of Detroit. His racist remarks, which included targeting the committee chairwoman, were met with immediate rebuke from Republican Senator Jim Runestad. Despite the controversy, the committee voted to advance the legislation, which would expand a firearms ban in the Capitol building. The incident highlights ongoing tensions surrounding gun control and extremist rhetoric in state legislatures.
