Florida State Suspends Accused Rapist Two Quarters for Screaming ‘Fck Her Right in the Pssy’

What gets you suspended at Florida State? Not a rape accusation, which barely jeopardized quarterback Jameis Winston’s Heisman campaign last year. But screaming an incendiary meme phrase on your college campus? That’s a half-game suspension, buddy.

USA Today reports that Florida State University has suspended Winston for the first two quarters of the team’s game against Clemson on Saturday for standing up on a table on the school’s campus and shouting “Fuck her right in the pussy,” a totally unfunny internet meme that originated as a hoax.

So, to recap: Being embroiled in a botched rape investigation? Win a Heisman. Shouting an offensive obscenity? You’re outta there (temporarily).

The Future of COVID in America

By Benjamin Hart and David Wallace-Wells

Vaccination rates may determine whether the virus becomes a seasonal nuisance sooner rather than later.

9:08 a.m.

Despite the new CDC guidance, masks will still be required on the House floor, as more than half of GOP members haven’t said if they’re vaccinated

“No,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said when asked if the rule mandating masks unless a member is speaking on the House floor would be modified. She then asked, “Are they all vaccinated?”

The answer, among Democrats across both chambers, is a 100% vaccination rate. For Republicans, it’s a different story – with at least 44.8% of House members vaccinated and at least 92% of senators.

In a follow-up to a March House-wide survey and interviews with members, CNN has confirmed that 312 of the 431 members of the House – just over 72% of the 431-member body – have now received a Covid-19 vaccination. Of that, all 219 House Democrats have reported being vaccinated. Among the Republican conference, 95 of the 212 members – 44.8% – have said they are vaccinated.

One hundred and twelve Republican offices did not respond to multiple CNN inquires.

One House Republican, Rep. Tom Massie of Kentucky, said he is not vaccinated.

Sure beats Manchin not backing any voting rights reform bill

Sen. Joe Manchin is breaking with Democrats and throwing his weight behind a more measured voting rights bill in lieu of the sweeping Democratic voting reform bill that Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has labeled a top priority of the caucus.

The Democrat from West Virginia told ABC News exclusively that he intends to support the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, a more narrowly tailored piece of voting rights legislation that he said he believes could muster bipartisan support even as voting legislation is becoming a flash point between the two parties.

“I believe Democrats and Republicans feel very strongly about protecting the ballot boxes allowing people to protect the right to vote making it accessible making it fair and making it secure and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, if we apply that to all 50 states and territories, it’s something that can be done – it should be done,” Manchin told ABC News’ Rachel Scott. “It could be done bipartisan to start getting confidence back in our system.”
