On Wednesday, Rep. Cedric Richmond (D-LA) — head of the Congressional Black Caucus — blasted the Senate Judiciary Committee’s decision to have three black members of Congress testify last at Sen. Jeff Sessions’ (R-AL) Tuesday confirmation hearing for attorney general, saying it was the equivalent of being sent to the “back of the bus.”
“First I want to address my concerns about being made to testify at the end of the witness panels,” Richmond said, according to The Hill. “To have a senator, a House member, and living civil rights legend testify at the end of all of this is the equivalent of being made to go to the back of the bus.”

You know what? That’s how I felt for 8 years. ENJOY DEMS!
What about the old expression, “Saving the best for last”?
Democrats always have a glass-half-empty view of things. No wonder they’re always unhappy.
Hey, idiot... it’s GOOD to get the last word.
Moron.
“glass half-empty view” = VICTIMHOOD
Effin’ crybaby!
Not sure if I could carry on if I was that frickin’ miserable ALL the time. Most of them see the glass as 3/4 empty.
The gentleman from Louisiana has the class of a crawfish.
The senate can make it’s own rules. Alphabetical order for either names or states works well.
I’m sick to death of the cry baby attitude among those who are supposed to be representing the people of this country.
Reason #317 as to why Trump was elected...
I saw the clip of the statement being made. YUGE eye roll.
Well, actually, white people, and white men in particular, ARE being discriminated against pretty regularly these days...
WHY is it always about race?
There would have been a different excuse if he’d gone first, or in the middle. EVERYTHING is racist for a D that’s looking for racism.
Speaking order in the Senate is assigned by seniority.
Always has.
And “I am black,” will not change the Senate rules.I am in a hurry to get home to my dying wife would though.
Yup.
1. American Senators & Congresscritters
2. Congressional Black Caucasians
See! Alphabetical order!
I’m of two minds on this.
First, of course they were being sent to the back of the bus - Jim Crow laws were invented by Democrats.
But then the testimony that they were giving was intentionally false and misleading. Democrats have been falsely calling ‘racist, racist!’ at conservatives for at least as long as I can remember. So, who cares - you deserve the back of the bus, not because of your skin color, but because of the reprehensible content of your character and your ugly conduct. Lies, more lies, and even more lies - those are the hallmarks of today’s Democrats.
At least for Democrats and the Left it’s a short bus.
