Cory Booker says he voted for a racist VP two times in a row!

Obama PRAISED Robert Byrd - a KKK recruiter - (AND the most powerful democrat in the Senate for years...) when he died. Obama gave the eulogy.
And yeah, all the KKK and White Citizens Councils members ‘saw the light’ once Republicans passed civil rights legislation and democrats realized they had lost. At that point Democrats ‘switched’ - turned on a dime to the winning side - switched to ‘blacks can do no wrong’ - just as intolerant as when their position was ‘blacks can do no right’...
FOX should be highlighting the truth rather than using slippery works that back up lies about who democrats really were...
