Kat Cammack: GOP Rep Claims Colleagues Opposed to Same-Sex Marriage Bill Are ‘Horribly Racist’

In a Wednesday-night exchange with a college student on Instagram, Representative Kat Cammack, a freshman Republican from Florida’s third congressional district, appeared to suggest that most of her House GOP colleagues are “horribly racist” for voting against the Respect for Marriage Act (RFMA), a bill that would codify the right to gay and interracial marriage nationwide.

Cammack’s comments came in response to a student who posted on an Instagram story a picture of the 47 Republicans who had voted for the RFMA. “Not a single true conservative here,” the student wrote, tagging Cammack and Lee Zeldin (R., N.Y.), who had both voted for the bill, in the post.
