Vambo Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 A group of Republican House members, led by Rep. Louis Gohmert of Texas, introduced a resolution Thursday that would effectively ban the Democratic Party from the House or force a party name change over past slavery ties -- a response to the recent efforts to remove tributes to past members of the Confederacy from the halls of Congress. It specifically cites the Democratic Party platform's support for slavery between 1840 and 1856, and other racist actions by party members through the early-to-mid 1900s, before calling on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., to "remove any items that names, symbolizes or mentions any political organization or party that has ever held a public position that supported slavery or the Confederacy" from the House and its properties. The resolution also says such a party "shall either change its name or be barred from participation in the House of Representatives." Gohmert, in a statement accompanying the bill, told Democrats they should rebrand to "avoid triggering" anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not wanting to destroy history and supporting slavery as Democrat do is two different things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Bone Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Those boomerang shaped rocks are a bitch once you've sent them downrange from your glass throne. The hypocrisy of Nancy The Crypt Keeper's actions is simply delicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
