"I just want to remind everyone of something very quickly. It was not our party that supported slavery, that fought women’s suffrage, that rounded up tens of thousands of Asian Americans and put them in concentration camps, that supported Jim Crow, that supported segregation or supported mass resistance. That wasn’t our party. That was the Democrat party.”
True. Of course, no mention of the fact that at the time, the Democratic party was comprised of Conservatives, and the liberal progressives were in the Republican party. But no one expects honesty from a Republican on this issue. Which is a good thing, because there will be none.
I guarantee there will be many in this thread who will pretend the ideology of the two parties never switched. They'll pretend that Conservatives were always strong supporters of Civil Rights and women's rights and desegregation. Uh, huh, sure you were.
If ones definition of "great" is "extremely ignorant of truth" than, sure...it was great. What he fails to mention is that if he was standing in that chamber 60 years ago, he would have been a proud Democrat. The ideologies of the parties have shifted over time, but most importantly to this line of argument, the party that "southern interests" have aligned themselves with has also changed.
The modern Republican party would have labelled Abraham Lincoln a radical left-wing socialist.

Thats been debunked , LOL, . Go take an exlaxx, re-leave yourself. Ignore.
And it's proved again with race Hucksters like Maxine Waters promising "Reparations" instead of anything that might actually provide jobs & solutions to crime in those Democrat Plantations that her and other Democrats represent. (and which she chooses not to live in herself)
