Dem Rep Says Republicans Would ‘Gladly’ Bring Back Slavery: “If you could get back to slavery, you would gladly do so”

Congressman Hank Johnson (D-GA) got the nickname ‘the dumbest man in Congress’ for saying Guam would tip over and capsize due to overpopulation. No one thought he could top that but he did today. 

Johnson was talking about the migrant crisis and said that Republicans would “gladly” bring back slavery during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday. Johnson said:

“Republicans like to see them migrants lined up at the border because they know that that’s a stream of labor ready to be exploited with cheap, if any, compensation.

“I mean, if you could get back to slavery, you would gladly do so.

“But if you could pay people a dollar an hour, you would settle for that. 

“And that’s, that’s the race to the bottom that we have with immigrants lined up at the border trying to get in and go to work. 

“And my Republican friends talk about how they don’t like that — how it’s a crisis — but yet they savor it.

“Those folks who are coming across are the ones who are helping to put food on our table. Without them we’re not able to eat.

“We would have nobody taking care of the building, the construction of our homes, we would have nobody cleaning up in the hospitals.”

BTW: Hanky you don’t have to do the token boy tasks the Millies and Zeros in the Dung Beetle Party order you to do. You can try thinking for yourself if you’re up to it. Moron.

here is the ugly truth about slavery. most people that talk about how horrible slavery was would be willing to enslave another if they lived 500 years ago and they received the benefits of that slavery. the reason why there is no active slave economy is that technology is providing the comforts that enslaving another provided in the past. get rid of most modern conviences and organized government approved slavery would show its ugly head in 1-2 generations.

Illegals are so valuable and needed that they can make the US become the astounding superpower that they made Mexico and Guatemala before coming to our border.

Yes. The Republican Party was formed specifically to end slavery, and its first President finally outlawed the practice.

They like illegal immigration and Chinese factories because it’s the closest thing to slavery the uniparty can get.

Slavery is back. We have soft slavery in our illegal immigrants. Our taxation levels also make citizens into soft slaves. Our civil rights are being ignored, denied and challenged. We are treated as subjects very often, not citizens.

Do these people (democrats) ever look in a mirror?

The man is an ignoramus - and that's being kind. He was either AWOL during American history classes or he learned/retained nothing. Even a cursory review of the role of the democrat and republican parties per our slave history will tell you which party supported and defended slavery and which did not. The man is an ass and an ignorant one at that!

We have been paying and paying for what the Dixiecrats and others did——we didn’t.

Time for the false accusations and slanders against us to end.

That is what one gets when it is never taught that President Lincoln and the Republican Party were AGAINST slavery, while the Democrapts were for it. And the pro-slave DEMOCRAT Confederacy lost the Civil War.

Yep. We could send those slaves to help tip Guam back over if the military tips it over.

Says a representative of the Party of slavery, the Confederacy, segregation, Jim Crow, the KKK and lynch mobs.

And don’t feed me the line the parties switched at some unnamed point in time.

Labor unions supported Democrats when George Wallace was governor of Alabama, and they still support Democrats to this day.

You are partly right and partly wrong.

There is a active slave economy, it is just underground. And the people who are engaged in it have the most advanced technology at their fingertips. They just prefer to have people who can not say no to order around.
