GOP reps push resolution to ban Democratic Party over past slavery ties​

It’s a response to the body’s vote this week to remove Confederate statues​

By Tyler Olson | Fox News

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.

Even if they don’t ban the Democratic Party (which they won’t, because we have freedom in the United States to be Communists if we choose!), I wish they could at least force the Democratic Party to be honest about their policies during the period of American history when slavery was legal and the Democrats fought for the right of people to own slaves, and after the Civil War, fought against former slaves (black people) having any civil rights.

Yes, I know that eventually the Democratic Party finally figured it out and spoke out against slavery and in favor of civil rights–I give them credit for that. But they should stop making it seem that the Democratic Party has always been in support of the “little man.” It’s shady behavior.

Seems like a more logical move would be to ban the Declaration of Independence which permitted slavery in the first place. But that wouldn’t get Gohmert re-elected.

Just this week Biden claimed Trump was our first racist President.

Joe Biden incorrectly claims that Trump is America's first 'racist' president

Before Trump, eight US presidents owned slaves while in office and numerous others pursued openly racist and violent policies.

He must have forgotten a lot of history. A lot of them were Democrats including Andrew Jackson and Woodrow Wilson. George Washington was the only one of the founders to free all his slaves in his will, but he was not a Democrat.
 
I’m so glad federal money is wasted so this dufus can get a jab in.

As if we don’t have actual problems to deal with.
 
And in doing so, showed how ignorant and latently racist he can be.

Biden: “He’s blaming everything on the Chinese…and people don’t make a distinction. As you all know, from a South Korean and someone from Beijing. They make no distinction, it’s Asian.”

I love it. After all they are only doing what the Democrats themselves have set in motion with their cancel culture.

If reparations are to be paid, it is the Democratic Party that should be required to pay it.

Gohmert should have shown he was serious by dressing in faux-African clothing and taking a knee like the Democratic politicians. If you don’t want people to introduce legislation that won’t pass, you probably need the chide the party whose constituents and members are tripping all over themselves to apologize for something and not doing anything to protect our history.

That would violate a basic principle of politics that someone else should be forced to pay for what they want. Soak the rich #30986732511.

Hmm. We’ve been saying this about Schiff and company and their coup attempts for over three years now.
How much money did Mueller waste?

Not to worry. Manafort covered all expenses.

Then again, there were a number of innocent people who lost a whole lot because of his tactics.
 
Like who, pray tell?

Poor corrupt Roger Stone or Mike Flynn?

Perhaps don’t actively lie during an investigation?
