Rep. King's Move to Block Harriet Tubman From $20 Comes Up Short

Rep. Steve King's quest to prevent abolitionist and suffragist, Harriet Tubman, from replacing former President Andrew Jackson on the $20 stopped a buck short of succeeding Tuesday night.

That's because the House Rules committee decided not to consider the Iowa Republican's proposed amendment to keep Tubman off the $20. He wanted to add the amendment to a measure funding the Treasury Department.

"It's not about Harriet Tubman, it's about keeping the picture on the $20," King said on Tuesday evening, according to Politico. He pulled a $20 bill from his pocket, pointed at Jackson and added. "Y'know? Why would you want to change that? I am a conservative, I like to keep what we have."

In April, the Treasury Department announced that Tubman would replace Jackson on the $20 on bills to be unveiled in 2020 — the 100th anniversary of women's right to vote. Founding father Alexander Hamilton will remain on the front of the $10 and the back will feature suffragists who fought to give women the right to vote including Lucretia Mott, Sojourner Truth, Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Alice Paul.

The Treasury's plan is for Tubman's countenance to grace the front of the double sawbuck, while the slave owner's mug will be forced to the back of the bill.
Racist King's lies, about the matter, were ineffective.

Other bills will have similar changes.
