Congress has tried more than 200 times to pass an anti-lynching law. This year, it could fail again
It was nearly a century ago that Rep. Leonidas C. Dyer, a Republican from Missouri, introduced a bill to make lynching a federal crime. With vigilante slayings of African-Americans rampant, it promised to force the federal government to prosecute lynch mobs for murder.
The bill wasn't the first in Congress to target lynchings. Others had tried to stop the killings carried out largely against blacks by angry Southern whites who nearly always got away without punishment. (The first attempt, in 1900, by Rep. George H. White, a North Carolina Republican and the only black person in Congress, was defeated in committee.) But Dyer's legislation was the first to have a serious chance of becoming law when it passed in the House of Representatives and made it out of committee in the Senate.
Democratic senators filibustered to block the bill in 1922, with one, Sen. Lee Slater Overman of North Carolina, saying that African-Americans did not want the law and "do not need it."

I doubt that Democrats given their history of not punishing lynchings

Lynching is the practice of murder by a group by extrajudicial action. Lynchings in the United States rose in number after the American Civil War in the late 1800s, following the emancipation of slaves; they declined in the 1920s but have continued to take place into the 21st century. Most lynchings were of African-American men in the South, but women were also lynched, and white lynchings of blacks occurred in Midwestern and border states, especially during the 20th-century Great Migration of blacks out of the South. The purpose was to enforce white supremacy and intimidate blacks by racial terrorism. On a per capita basis lynchings were also common in California and the Old West, especially of Latinos, although they represented less than 10% of the national total. Native Americans and Asian Americans were also lynched.[1] Other ethnicities (white, Finnish-American, Jewish, Irish, Italian-American) were occasionally lynched.
After the Reconstruction era, most of the South was politically dominated by white Democrats. Lynchings were used to enforce white supremacy and intimidate blacks by racial terrorism.
White Democrats enacted segregation and Jim Crow laws to enforce blacks' second-class status. During this period that spanned the late 19th and early 20th centuries, lynchings reached a peak in the South. Florida led the nation in lynchings per capita from 1900 to 1930.[14][15] Georgia led the nation in lynchings from 1900 to 1931 with 302 incidents, according to The Tuskegee Institute. Lynchings peaked in many areas when it was time for landowners to settle accounts with sharecroppers.

And this is where Democrats try to distance themselves from other Democrats who were in the south as if they were a different political party, but power hungry as they are Democrats North, South East and West
were together and accepted each other's behavior.
In fact it was 1870 when Republicans introduce the 15th amendment which gave people of color the right to vote and but it was thwarted by Democrats and it was in 1964 that getting those rights from Democrats took place. It is clear that Democrats have been a civil rights violation for hundreds of years and if illegals are allowed to enter without proper vetting and legally, Democrats will do to Central Americans and
Mexicans what they did to blacks.
So this article says that an Anti lynching law won't get passed and given that there has been 200 anti lynching bills that have not passed it's expected that Democrats won't pass one either and any attempts by the left to garner superiority will fall flat because there have been 200 attempts...
Which were opposed by Democrats.
So will Pelosi get an anti lynching bill passed? You can best be sure that if they did they try to make Republicans out to be the racists on this issue.
