Impressive candor for Senate Dems to hold a hearing on the history of Jim Crow laws.
- Bull Connor
- Nathan Bedford Forrest (founder of KKK)
- George Wallace
- Robert Byrd
ALL Democrats.
Dems wrote Jim Crow. Sadly, they’ve got a lot of expertise in bigotry & discrimination.

2/x Lots of Dems triggered by this post.
Most common, angry response, in effect: “the world changed in 1964, and now Dems are righteous on race.”
This is nonsense, on many levels.
(1) GOP, the party of Lincoln, was founded to END slavery. Dems ferociously defended slavery.

3/x (2) In 1964, 82% of GOP voted for Civil Rights Act. Only 69% of Dems did & Dems filibustered to try to kill it.
(3) It’s not just ancient Dem history (which Lefties angrily insist). The CURRENT Dem governor of VA displayed a Klansman in his yearbook.

4/x (4) Dem Robert Byrd, the Senate Majority Leader from 1987-89, was an “Exalted Cyclops” in the KKK.
(5) Joe Biden gave a gushing eulogy for Klansman Byrd ELEVEN YEAR AGO.

5/x (6) Dems today ferociously oppose school choice—the most important civil rights issue in America.
(7) Dems today routinely try the divide & inflame racial tensions (see, eg, Maxine Waters urging riots; Biden “they’re going to put you back in chains.”)

6/x (8) Just last month, EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT voted for a new program that explicitly discriminates based on race, forgiving Ag loans for farmers only in specified races. This is wrong & only divides us further.
7/x (9) Two months ago, Biden admin dismissed the prosecution of Yale for explicitly discriminating against Asian-Americans. When it suits their political advantage, TODAY’s Dems enthusiastically support racial discrimination.
