Jordan was a despicable DemonRAT in virtually every way. Sure, she was tolerable when it came to cracking down on illegal aliens but the rest of her position were straight out of the commie playbook: support for the vile Community Reinvestment Act that led to the Dodd-Frank financial crisis of 2008, support for the 1965 Voting Rights Act and favoring affirmative action. That Jordan character was also a sodomite, keeping her lesbian partner well concealed. If anything Barbara Jordan would be leading a standing ovation for Sheila Jackson Lee. And I have no doubt that Jordan would be an Obama sycophant, backing his program to turn America into a socialist welfare state.
I disagree. She was the product of a different time and place. And your opinion was not shared by a lot of people on the other side who knew her.
