Speaking on Tuesday on the floor of the Senate to support the Justice in Policing Act of 2020, which he introduced with Senators Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Kamala Harris (D-CA) last week, Virginia Democrat senator Tim Kaine, Hillary Clinton’s running mate in 2016, snapped, “The United States didn’t inherit slavery from anybody; we created it.”

Kaine said, “We need to ban racial and religious profiling. We need to hold police officers and police departments accountable for violent, reckless behavior. We need to promote better training and professional accreditation of police departments. Madame President, why do we demand that universities maintain accreditation to receive federal funds but make no such demand of law enforcement agencies?”
